Build your vocabulary while you browse
Most new words are found in the middle of doing something else — reading an article, replying to an email, skimming a report. The My Vocabulary Tracker Chrome extension meets you there: double-click any word on any website, and a small popup shows its meaning instantly, right where you are.
Like what you see? One more click saves it to your My Vocabulary Tracker account, where it's immediately available for review, quizzing, and spaced practice — the same account and the same word list you already use in the app.
How it works
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Install | Add the extension from the Chrome Web Store — free, takes a few seconds. |
| 2. Sign in | Click the extension icon, then "Sign in" — it opens myvocabularytracker.com and connects automatically. Use the same Google account you already use here. |
| 3. Double-click any word | On any page — an article, an email, a PDF viewer, anywhere — double-click a word you don't know. |
| 4. See the meaning | A popup shows the definition, part of speech, and pronunciation instantly. |
| 5. Save it | Click "Add to my words" and it's saved to your account — no copy-pasting, no switching tabs. |
Requires a My Vocabulary Tracker account
You can look up a word's meaning without signing in. Saving it to your list requires a free My Vocabulary Tracker account — the same one used across this app's Quiz, Reading, AI Coach, and every other feature. Words you save through the extension show up instantly in your Add/Revise/Quiz tabs, with nothing to sync manually.
Who this is for
Heavy readers
News, research papers, long-form articles — capture unfamiliar words the moment you meet them, instead of losing them when you close the tab.
Business English learners
Reading emails, reports, or Slack messages at work — save professional vocabulary as it comes up, in context.
Exam candidates
Build your own word list from real reading instead of memorizing someone else's flashcard deck.
Anyone who forgets to look words up later
If "I'll look that up later" never actually happens, the extension removes the friction that stops you.
Frequently asked questions
Is the extension free?
Yes, completely free, with no ads.
Do I need an account to use it?
You can look up definitions without one. Saving words to your list requires a free My Vocabulary Tracker account, signed in through the extension's popup.
Does it track my browsing?
No — it only reads the word you double-click. It doesn't monitor pages otherwise or track browsing history.
Which browsers does it support?
Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers (like Edge or Brave) that support the Chrome Web Store.
Will my saved words show up in the app right away?
Yes — words saved through the extension use the same account and database as the app, so they appear immediately in Add, Revise, and Quiz with nothing to sync.
