VISUAL LEXICON — Chrome Extension **Short description** Highlight or double-click any word to see images, smart translations, audio, a 3D Thesaurus, and quick vocab games—privacy-first. **Overview** Visual Lexicon turns any web page into a visual dictionary. Double-click or highlight a word (or short phrase) to open a tiny, on-page popup—no page reloads, no new tabs. **What you get** * **Instant visuals:** See relevant images that make meanings stick. * **Smart translations:** Context-aware translations for multiple languages. * **Optional audio:** Hear the word pronounced clearly. * **Language switcher:** Toggle languages or jump to the full image gallery. * **Saved Words:** When signed in, every lookup is saved to **My Account → All Saved Words** and synced across devices. **What’s new** * **3D Thesaurus (New):** Explore synonyms, antonyms, and related terms in an interactive 3D view—great for nuance and discovery. * **Games (New):** Bite-size vocab challenges (e.g., *Word Boss — Color Pop*) you can launch right from the popup to reinforce learning while you browse. **Privacy-first by design** * Processes **only** the text you select—**never** the full page. * Requests are made without sending the page URL, so the site you’re on isn’t revealed. * Stores simple preferences locally (language, on/off, per-site allow/deny). * If you sign in, we store only the queried term plus minimal sync metadata. * **No ads. No third-party trackers. No remote code execution.** * Network requests download content payloads only (images/definitions/audio). **Permissions (scoped to the core feature)** * **Host permissions:** Detect selections and render the popup on the page you’re viewing. * **Tabs:** Read the active tab’s origin and broadcast enable/disable across your open tabs (not used for history or other pages). * **Storage:** Lightweight settings and, if signed in, an auth token for Saved Words sync. * **ContextMenus:** Right-click to look up a selection or toggle on this site. **You stay in control** * Toolbar switch + per-site controls. Disable any time. * By installing, you acknowledge that data is used only to provide and improve the core functionality. We comply with Chrome Web Store Developer Program Policies and applicable privacy laws. **Category:** Productivity **Primary language:** English (US) **Support:** [support@visuallexicon.org]
