ChatGPT infers which sense of a word fits the sentence you highlighted, instead of dumping every dictionary entry at once.
Matching dictionary entries and audio pronunciation are pulled in so you can hear as well as read the word.
Select text and click the purple circle that appears — no popup windows, no copy-pasting into a separate tab.
Add words you want to remember to a personal list so you can review them later.
Text to speech and voice AI across every device
Listen to books, PDFs, documents and web pages read aloud in a large library of lifelike AI voices.
Dictate instead of typing in almost any app, across Google Docs, Gmail, Slack, Outlook and more.
Turn documents or a short prompt into an AI podcast, and get instant summaries of what you are reading.
Use the web app, Chrome and Edge extensions, and native iOS, Android, Mac and Windows apps.
