Define Select Dictionary Autor: eldon922

Look up a word without losing your place.

Double-click any word on any web page, or select a few words with the mouse,
and a small popup appears with the definition, right where you are reading.
Press on and the popup disappears when you click away.

FEATURES

• Instant lookups: up to five definitions, with part of speech and example
  sentences where available.
• Phrase lookups: select several words to define the whole phrase.
• Pronunciation: a speaker button that reads the word aloud with your browser's
  text-to-speech, plus a phonetic transcription and a recorded pronunciation
  where available.
• Search engine: choose Google or DuckDuckGo for lookups and the Learn more
  link.
• Nested lookups: met another word you do not know inside a definition?
  Double-click that one too.
• Trigger key: optionally require holding Ctrl, Alt or Shift (Command on
  macOS) while double-clicking or selecting, so popups only appear when you
  want them.
• Word history: optionally keep the words you look up, see the count on the
  options page, and export the lot as CSV. It stays on your device.
• Dark mode: the popup follows your system colour scheme.

PRIVACY

No accounts, no analytics, no tracking, and no data sent to the developer.
The only thing that leaves your browser is the text you select to define, sent
to the search engine you choose (Google or DuckDuckGo) and, if that finds
nothing, to a dictionary service. Your word history is stored locally and never
transmitted. Full policy:

Definitions come from a web search for the selected text on your chosen search
engine (Google by default, or DuckDuckGo), with the free Dictionary API
(dictionaryapi.dev) as a fallback.
