Steal the Word: Browser Extension for Word Highlighting and Note-Taking
Steal the Word is a browser extension developed by rakakroma that offers word note-taking, word highlighting, and reading assistance. This free extension allows users to save words along with their contextual information, add annotations, notes, tags, and more. Steal the Word automatically highlights the saved words on web pages, making it easy to review the information with just a click.
One of the key features of Steal the Word is its ability to increase familiarity with unfamiliar words on web pages. It allows users to easily take word notes without wasting time organizing and never reviewing them. Additionally, the extension efficiently organizes the real-life usages of words.
With Steal the Word, users can highlight and annotate web page text, whether it's an online page or a local HTML file. The extension also supports saving words with multiple meanings or multiple sentences.
It's important to note that Steal the Word is not a dictionary tool, but users can still use free APIs to automatically query Chinese, Taiwanese, Hakka, English, and Japanese pronunciation information. The API can be manually disabled on the settings page if desired.
However, it's worth mentioning that on some websites, such as CodeSandbox, the text being edited might be affected. To avoid unexpected results, users can manually set these websites to default off.
For any suggestions, bug reports, or solutions, users can submit them on GitHub or the Chrome Store Support Page. To stay updated with the latest changes, users can visit the GitHub repository for the change log.
