The Headline Feature: Custom Vocabulary & True Portability Your Personal Dictionary: You can now inject your own modern slang, specific regional expressions, or personal study words directly into the app! The engine seamlessly integrates your custom vocabulary alongside the core database, matching and searching them as if they were always there. Take It Anywhere (Import/Export): Moving to a new device? You can now easily export your entire workspace, including your Custom Vocab, Pinned words, and Search History, and import it onto any other platform. Persistent Workspaces: Your app state is now fully persistent. Your active tabs, split-pane views, and custom preferences will remain exactly where you left them across app restarts and version updates. Supercharged Search & Poetic Syntax Professional Rhyme Modes: Rhyme algorithms have been upgraded to strictly follow real linguistic and poetic standards. We’ve also introduced a brand-new Tung Rhyme (通韻) mode, engineered specifically for traditional literary forms like Cantonese Opera and Naamyam (南音). Color-Coded Syntax Highlighting: Complex searches are now beautifully color-coded right in the search bar, making it incredibly easy to distinguish between phonetic constraints, semantic links, and tone melodies at a glance. Advanced Search Operators: We’ve expanded the engine’s power with new deep-search modifiers: 》》 Find Rhyming Compounds (疊韻) 《《 Find Alliterative Compounds (雙聲) ^^ Find Monotones (words where every syllable shares the exact same tone) %% Find Reversible Words (phrases that are valid dictionary words read backwards) @@ Find Polyphones (characters with multiple valid pronunciations) Better Data, Better Sorting Smarter Frequency Ranking: We’ve heavily improved our frequency data mapping. The most relevant and commonly used words will now naturally float to the top of your search results. Pristine Data Pipeline: A massive clean-up of the underlying database means thousands of corrected dictionary entries and highly accurate, validated Jyutping mappings. Typing, Accessibility & UI Polish Smarter, Customizable IME: The built-in Cantonese keyboard is now more intuitive than ever. Not a strict Jyutping expert? We’ve added a highly requested preference toggle allowing you to flip the y/j/z keys so you can type using the romanization logic that feels most natural to you. Accessible & Scalable: The app is now fully optimized for screen readers, making it accessible to all users. Love the app? Leave me a review!
