Apart from the normal web browsing functions, this program is specially designed for reading Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) web pages with intelligent NJStar CJK auto-detection technologies, giving you a hassle-free CJK web browsing experience. Used in conjunction with our best-selling NJStar Communicator, it enables you to view, input and save CJK web pages with unprecedented control and ease. Functions / Features ==================== Read Chinese, Japanese and Korean (CJK) web pages with character encoding auto-detection. Auto Detect is all you need to set when you read CJK web pages - no more juggling through the setting of "View", "Encoding" on your MS IE browser! CJK Input allows you to type Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters directly into the CJK web page. (requires NJStar Communicator) Fix It! allows you to read/convert mix-code web pages such as discussion forum / bbs bord with both Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese characters on the same page. Chinese Auto-Conversion enables you to read/convert Simplified Chinese web page in Traditional Chinese format and otherwise. (requires NJStar Communicator) Copy as.../Paste as... allows you to copy/paste the web contents in either Simplified Chinese or in Traditional Chinese format at will. Keyword Search allows easy keyword search in the URL "Address" field matching the CJK code used for the keyword.
