A name in an email before the call. A term in the paper you're presenting. A word you're suddenly not sure you've been saying right. The moment you need it, checking shouldn't cost you the page you were on.
The usual way
- Copy the word
- Open a new tab
- Search "how to pronounce..."
- Find something that actually plays
- Find your way back to the page
By then, you've lost your place.
With QuickPronounce
- Select the word
- Hear it
You're still in the same sentence.
How the pronunciation extension works
See how to say it, not only what it means.
The syllables are spelled the way they sound, and the tallest bar is the beat to lean on. Tricky one? Play it at 0.75x or 0.5x until every sound is clear.
Heard a word instead of reading it? Type it.
Open the popup from your toolbar and look up anything. Your last 10 words wait underneath, one click from another listen.
Right-click or shortcut
Not a fan of the button? Use the right-click menu or a keyboard shortcut.
Words that change
Record the noun and record the verb sound different. You get both.
Short definitions
A quick meaning on the card, and the full entry one click away.
Light or dark
Pick the theme that suits the way you read.
About the warning you'll see when you install
Your browser will say the extension can "read and change all your data on all websites." Any extension that works on every site gets that wording. It's what lets the Pronounce button appear on whatever you're reading.
Read the full privacy policyOnly the word you choose
That one word is the only thing from the page that leaves your browser.
No reading over your shoulder
It doesn't collect page content or build a browsing history.
No trackers, no account
No third-party analytics or ads. Your recent words stay on your device.
Good to know
Is it really free?
Yes. There's no account and no card. The free version has a daily limit on new words that most people never reach, and replaying a word you've already looked up is always free.
Which accents does it cover?
US and UK English on every card, and you choose which one comes first.
Which browsers does it work in?
Chrome and Edge on a computer. It isn't available on phones yet.
Does it work on every website?
It works on ordinary web pages. Browsers don't let any extension run on a few protected pages, such as their own settings and store pages.
