Auto-Detect Pinyin for Flashcards

[insighter]

Hey,

I have a vocabulary list of 汉字 and accompanying English definitions. The list is nearly 200 items long so I would really rather not copy and past them into nciku for 50-70 minutes straight just to get the pinyin. When importing a text document is there any way to auto-fill/search for pinyin?

Thanks

No, basically because we don't want to be supplying Pinyin that we're not confident actually matches the definition - people could end up with incorrect Pinyin without even realizing it.

There are lots of desktop utilities available to convert words to Pinyin, though, not to mention Google Translate (paste in your Chinese text and it'll give you a Pinyin transcription below).
