About this extension
Select any word on your screen and understand it instantly, whether you're watching a video, reading manga, or browsing the web

Learn languages while watching Netflix, Anime, YouTube, reading manga, or browsing the web, completely for free.

Looking up a word shouldn't mean pausing what you're watching, exiting full screen, switching tabs, and losing your train of thought. LexEye brings instant dictionary definitions, AI context explanations, natural audio pronunciation, and one-click Anki sentence mining directly to whatever is on your screen.

🎬 Learn While Watching and Browsing

Turn your regular entertainment into active language immersion.

🔗 Clickable subtitles on Netflix, YouTube, Crunchyroll, and other streaming sites.
🖥 Full-screen friendly, so you never have to interrupt your playback.
🧠 Smart lemmatization automatically recognizes conjugated verbs and adjectives, showing you the root dictionary form.
📖 Tabbed meaning popup separates definitions by part of speech and includes a dedicated examples tab.
↩ Quick history navigation lets you easily jump back to previously checked words.
🎞 Visual learning with relevant GIFs and contextual cues to help memory retention.
🌐 Works seamlessly across English, Japanese (Kanji Breakdown, Kana, Furigana, and JLPT levels, Frequencies), German, French, Spanish, and over 100 other languages.

On-Screen OCR for Anything You Can See

Traditional dictionary extensions only work on plain webpage text. LexEye can read anything on your screen. Just press Alt+X (or your custom shortcut) to drag and select:

🔤 Burned-in and hardcoded subtitles
📚 Manga and comics
🎥 Video frames and streaming players
🖼 Canvas elements, images, and infographics
📄 PDFs, games, and web apps
📱 Social media feeds and online courses

🤖 AI Nuance and Context-Aware Lookups

A single word often changes meaning depending on the surrounding sentence.

Context-aware breakdowns analyze the entire sentence or subtitle line to give you the exact meaning for that specific scenario.

💡 Nuance and idioms are explained clearly without generic dictionary fluff.
🌍 Dual translations provide both native-language explanations and clean English definitions.

🔊 Studio-Quality Audio

Hearing the right pronunciation is critical for language acquisition.

🎙 Powered by Azure Neural Text-to-Speech for lifelike, natural-sounding voice output.
⚡ Fallback dictionary pronunciation ensures quick, instant WebSpeech API playback and further Google TTS.
💾 Audio files are automatically saved and attached when creating flashcards.

• High-quality audio pronunciation
• Automatic screenshot of the exact scene or webpage
• Full context sentence and subtitle line
• Native translation and detailed English definitions
• Part of speech and example sentences
• Japanese-specific furigana readings, pitch accent, and JLPT tags

No manual typing, no screenshot cropping tools, no audio downloading, and no switching apps. Just click Save and keep watching.

📚 Vocabulary Vault and Spaced Repetition

🔎 Personal vocabulary vault to search, filter, and review saved words anytime.
