v0.1.5 Updated Feb 12, 2026 375KiB
Description
Stop switching tabs every time you meet a new word. VocabKit turns any webpage, article, PDF, or video into an interactive language lesson so you can translate in context, save vocabulary, and keep learning while you browse—without breaking your focus.
A language learning extension and vocabulary builder: translate selected text on-page, without switching tabs, then save words to your vocabulary list.
🌍 40 Languages, 1,560 Translation Pairs
Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese (Simplified & Traditional), Arabic, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Hindi, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Indonesian, Greek, Hebrew, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Romanian, Ukrainian, Bengali, Tagalog, Malay, Persian, Swahili, and more!
Translate text with one click, save words to your personal vocabulary list, and export them (Anki or CSV). This is the simplest way to build a vocabulary from real content.
✨ Key Features
⚡ Instant On-Page Translation (Alt+T)
• Select a word or phrase and get a clean, context-rich translation without switching tabs. Works on websites, articles, and documents.
🎯 OCR Translation for Images & Subtitles (Alt+O)
Translate text from ANY image or video frame, including hardcoded subtitles. Perfect for:
• Streaming shows with burned-in subtitles (e.g., Netflix/Disney+ content)
• YouTube videos without captions
• Screenshots, memes, and social media images
• Scanned documents and PDFs
🧠 Deeper Contextual Learning
• Go beyond definitions: part-of-speech, example sentences, and meaning nuances to help you remember words naturally.
📚 Smart Vocabulary Builder (Save Words in 1 Click)
• Save new words to your personal library. Review and manage your vocabulary directly in the extension with cloud sync across devices.
✍️ Personal Notes & Mnemonics
• Add your own notes to make vocabulary stick.
📤 Export Your Vocabulary (Anki / CSV)
• Export as APKG (direct Anki import) or CSV for other spaced-repetition workflows.
🗣️ Clear Pronunciation (Text-to-Speech)
• Listen to audio for both the original word and the translation.
📺 Learn from Videos
