Metis: Language Memory

Works with the Metis app: look up words as you read in Chrome, save them, and review them on your phone.

The Chrome companion to the Metis app. Look up words as you read, and every word you save goes to your Metis account, where it comes back for review on your phone until it sticks. How it works 1. Select a word or phrase on any page, right-click, and choose "Look up in Metis". A card opens next to the text with the translation, the meaning, synonyms and an example sentence in both languages. 2. Click "Save to Metis". The card joins your list in the Metis app, together with the words you save on your phone. 3. Review on your phone. Metis brings each word back at 1, 2, 4 and 7 days until you know it. What it does • Looks up words and whole phrases, idioms included • Works whichever language you select: select or type in your own language and the card is still made for the language you're learning • Offers another meaning when a word has more than one • Has a search box in the toolbar for words you heard rather than read • Shortcut: Alt+Shift+M looks up the selected text You need a Metis account The extension saves to your Metis account, so you need the Metis app (free on iPhone). New to Metis? Install the app, create your account, then connect the extension: sign in with Google in one click, with your email and password, or by confirming a short code in the app (Profile → Chrome extension), which works for every account, Sign in with Apple included.
