Vocabulary Highlighter —
View on Chrome Web StoreChrome will indicate if you already have this installed.
Overview
Learn English vocabulary by reading websites you already love — Reddit, Medium, news, documentation, anything.
HOW IT WORKS
Open any webpage → click "Activate" → every word gets color-coded. Green = you know it. Red = you don't. Click an unknown word, press Enter — it's added to your dictionary. The extension remembers.
Over time, you see fewer red words. That's your progress.
FLASHCARDS WITH SPACED REPETITION (NEW in 0.2.0)
Unknown words you encounter while reading automatically become flashcards. Practice them with a 3-button rating system (Don't know / Kinda know / Know it). The built-in spaced repetition algorithm schedules reviews at optimal intervals so you remember words long-term.
WORD FREQUENCY TRACKING
See which unknown words appear most often across everything you read. Filter by time period: last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or all time. Focus on high-frequency words first — they give you the biggest reading comprehension boost.
QUICK SETUP QUIZ
Mark 1,500 common English words you already know in batches of 150. Takes a few minutes. After that, the extension only highlights words you actually need to learn.
CLICK-TO-TRANSLATE
Click any word on the Learn Words page or inside flashcards to instantly see its definition and part of speech. No need to open a separate dictionary.
