Overview
Lets users save highlighted words on a web page and automatically fetch their meanings
Build your vocabulary seamlessly without breaking your focus. Vocab-Bucket is a lightweight, distraction-free Chrome extension designed for readers, students, and professionals who want to learn new words without interrupting their workflow. Instead of opening a new tab to search for a definition, simply highlight any word on the page and press Alt + Shift + S. Vocab-Bucket instantly fetches the accurate definition, provides audio pronunciation, and securely saves it directly to your browser's local storage for future review. KEY FEATURES: • Lightning-Fast Lookups: Highlight any text and use the custom keyboard shortcut to view definitions in milliseconds. Backed by a custom-built, Redis-cached server environment and concurrent data fetching, you get instant answers with zero bottlenecks. • Dual-Engine Accuracy: Get the best of both worlds. Vocab-Bucket seamlessly aggregates professional, highly curated definitions from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary with the massive modern vocabulary and technical coverage of the Free Dictionary API. • Rich Context & Audio Pronunciations: Don't just read the word—hear it. Every saved word comes packed with high-quality MP3 audio pronunciations, precise phonetic spellings (IPA), parts of speech, and real-world example sentences. • Smart Auto-Correction & Root Matching: Highlighted a plural, a past-tense verb like "running", or made a typo? No problem. Our intelligent infrastructure automatically identifies the root word, handles the fallback gracefully, and delivers the exact core definition you need. • Your Personal Dictionary: Every searched word is automatically saved to your personal "bucket," allowing you to review your growing vocabulary list at your own pace. • Flexible Data Exporting: Your learning data belongs to you. Seamlessly export your entire vocabulary bucket into clean .csv, .json, or .md (Markdown) formats with a single click, making it easy to back up your data or import it into flashcard apps. • Non-Intrusive UI: A clean, modern popup that delivers exactly the information you need without cluttering your screen or breaking your reading state. • 100% Private & Secure: Your saved words are stored entirely offline on your device. There is no tracking, no user accounts, and absolutely zero user data collection.
