FAQ

Are polyphones always correct?

No. The tool uses a simplified preferred-reading map. Treat results as reference, not authoritative dictionary readings.

What do the three modes do?

Ruby stacks pinyin above characters; inline places pinyin beside characters; pinyin-only outputs the syllable string for copying.
