    I have changed from a android tablet device to a windows tablet. I needed a flexible tool where the following functionalities are supportet: add another dictionary i.e. handedict (chinese - german), screen reading in any app (like reading in PDFs, some articles, websites, other apps), support for simplified and traditional characters, the possibility to here the pronounciation.
