SHORT DESCRIPTION:

Jitterbits Dictionary is a small, yet powerful "must-have" translation tool. It utilizes multiple dictionaries within multiple language translations (dictionary packages). Jitterbits Dictionary comes in two editions - one for the Desktop PC, and one Pocket PC devices. The desktop version is a useful translation tool for the desktop or laptop PCs, taking low space on your hard drive, and in memory. Pocket PC version is specially tuned for performance and low memory utilization on Pocket PC devices.

Jitterbits Chinese-English Dictionary is a Jitterbits Dictionary with pre-included Chinese-English dictionary package - PinYin to English, Hanzi to English and English to Chinese. PinYin is the phonetic representation of Chinese words using Latin alphabet.

This makes the Jitterbits Chinese-English Dictionary an indispensable tool for travelers and business visitors to China.

Jitterbits Japanese-English Dictionary is a Jitterbits Dictionary with pre-included four-way Japanese-English translation - Kanji to English, Kana to English, Romaji to English and English to Japanese.

This makes the Jitterbits Japanese-English Dictionary an indispensable tool for travelers and business visitors to Japan.
