STGuru Screenshots

Video Demonstrations (in Simplified Chinese)

STGuru is a powerful professional Simplified Chinese (CHS) - Traditional Chinese (CHT) converter. Some of its features are shown in the screenshots below. More features are available for you to explore by yourself.

Main UI, dual edit area design, professional CHS/CHT conversions

This is STGuru's main interface. It has two edit areas, each with a relatively independent command system for file, edit and other relevant operations.

The Traditional Chinese (Big5) version of text in the lower edit area is converted directly by the IT package, based on the text in the upper area. The quality of conversion is professional.

Main UI, left-right placement

You can conveniently switch between up-down placement and left-right placement.

Code Conversion menu - you can find all code conversion commands here

You can open main function panels, such as the Edit Area Conversion panel, the Clipboard Conversion panel or the File/Web Page/Directory/Site Conversion dialog box by shortcut keys. Most common edit area and clipboard conversion commands can be found from under the Common Conversions submenu for you to select conveniently and quickly. With the option Edit Area Conversion Options in the secondary menu, you can decide whether the target text should be written into the upper edit area (and overwrite the original text), or into the lower edit area in edit area conversion started by the edit area conversion commands in the Code Conversion menu or on a toolbar. We suggest you to use the default setting of Upper Area -> Lower Area.
