pinyin annotation by the reader

Is there any way to have the Reader annotate the whole text with the pronounciation in pin yin? I can then highlight any word to get the definition.

Sort of what thechinesereader.com is doing.

Thanks

Not at the moment - there haven't been many requests for it, to be honest. And it's very challenging to get right because you have to intelligently handle situations where one character might have multiple pronunciations, so it's not the sort of thing we could whip up in an afternoon; if we simply used the most common pronunciation for every character (which is what that site seems to do) that would make the job considerably easier, but I'm worried it would also generate quite a lot of complaints.
