Jitterbits Chinese-English Dictionary is the first dictionary for Pocket PC devices running OS version 2002 or later that translates from PinYin Chinese to English. PinYin is the phonetic representation of Chinese words using Latin alphabet. Thus, users of the dictionary no longer need to know the ideographic Chinese writing (Hanzi) of the word in order to find its translation. This makes the Jitterbits Chinese-English Dictionary an indispensable tool for travelers and business visitors to China.

Version 2.0 of Jitterbits Dictionary is available for download - free for customers of version 1.x. Please check it out.
