    Definition pronunciation: 1st 粵jyutping 2nd普pinyin

    Hi. I use Pleco mainly for Cantonese so I switched on Jyutping under Language + Text. But often I need to refer to the Mandarin pinyin as well. If I have both switched on, then the Mandarin pinyin is always displayed first which makes it harder to refer to Jyutping first. And in search...

    Cantonese Audio Pronunciation Problem - GZP

    I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem. I searched the forum and couldn't find the answer. The pronunciation for certain cantonese words produces a hissing sound on some entries in the Guangzhouhua Putonghua Cidian (GZP). I have all the audio add-ons installed. I even went on "...
