WordGloss nga John

WordGloss gives you fast, inline word definitions without interrupting your browsing.

Select a word on nearly any webpage and WordGloss opens a compact definition card with:

Clear, concise definitions
Multiple meanings when available
Human pronunciation recordings from Wiktionary/Wikimedia Commons when available
Speech synthesis as a fallback when recorded pronunciation is unavailable
Automatic language detection
Manual language selection
Support for multiple languages
Fast cached lookups

WordGloss is designed to stay out of the way: select a word, get its meaning, and continue reading without opening another tab.

What WordGloss can access:
WordGloss only reads the word you select so it can provide a definition. It may also use the webpage’s language setting to choose the appropriate dictionary.

The selected word is sent to DictionaryAPI or Wiktionary to retrieve its definition. Pronunciation audio may also be loaded from Wiktionary, Wikimedia Commons, or another listed audio provider.
