A Chrome extension that explains what you read, instead of doing the work for you
Highlight any word or sentence and receive meaning, grammar, structure, register and synonyms written in the language being learned, not a finished translation.
Teachers set a minimum explanation level for a class so students cannot silently switch themselves down to full translation.
Assign PDFs and see active reading time, which pages students spent it on, and how many words they looked up per page.
Offers vocabulary and sentence patterns instead of paragraphs to copy, and flags large pastes in submitted assignments.
An AI language learning assistant with bilingual subtitles, immersive translation, and vocabulary practice
Watch videos on YouTube, Netflix, HBO Max, TED, and course platforms with side-by-side bilingual subtitles in theater or reading mode.
Get instant definitions, grammar breakdowns, and part-of-speech tagging for selected words and sentences using AI and NLP.
Translate selected text, paragraphs, or entire pages in place, with bilingual comparison and a choice of translation engines.
Save words and real-life sentences to decks, highlight unknown words as you browse, and review them in the web learning center.
