Description:
uChmViewer is a fork of the KchmViewer with some improvements. uChmViewer is a chm (MS HTML help file format) and epub viewer, written in C++ using Qt framework. The main advantage of uChmViewer is extended support for non-English languages. Unlike others, uChmViewer in most cases correctly detects chm file encoding, correctly shows tables of context of Russian, Korean, Chinese and Japanese help files. It also correctly searches text in non-English help files, including Korean, Chinese and Japanese.
