GhostDictionary

Show English word meanings with hover+keys, speak text, and translate selected passages.

Latest update: I modified it so that the translation window does not appear when pressing modifier keys such as Shift or Ctrl. Now you can search for words with Ctrl+F without any issues. Hover over any English word on a web page and press the following shortcuts to get instant translations or speech. Pointer + W: translate the word into your selected native language Pointer + E: English-to-English definition Pointer + F: translate the word into French Pointer + S: translate the word into Spanish Pointer + P: read aloud the paragraph containing the word Pointer + R: read aloud the word, or any selected text, in your native language Pointer + T: translate the selected text into your native language After selecting text, pressing T also supports translating from your native language into English. You can change the native language from the browser’s extension icon → GhostDictionary. The main translation window can be dragged. Clicking outside closes it, unless you pin it with the pin icon. To pause the extension or disable it on certain pages or sites, hover over the red dashed marker at the bottom right of the page (it turns yellow) and use: Pointer + P: disable on this page Pointer + @: disable on this site Pointer + Ctrl: toggle hibernation on/off Pointer + mouse wheel up: open the list of blocked pages Pointer + mouse wheel down: open the list of blocked sites We plan to add a feature that delivers English practice questions via notifications. GhostDictionary uses the patented “Ghost Interface” GUI and related pending patents. Unauthorized imitation of the GUI is strictly prohibited. Questions or feedback?
