EchoWord

# EchoWord — Every unfamiliar word on an English web page, read out loud and understood ## Who it's for Students preparing for CET-4/6, postgraduate entrance exams, IELTS or TOEFL — reading foreign magazines and past exam papers every day; programmers, researchers and analysts — reading documentation, Stack Overflow and arXiv papers; cross-border sellers and overseas operators — following Reddit, Amazon reviews and overseas communities; and casual readers who read English for fun — BBC, Medium and beyond. What they all share: they recognize words with their eyes, can't speak them, and can't hold onto them. ## Philosophy A word you never hear spoken aloud is a word you never truly learn. Words you've actually heard pronounced, and seen used inside a sentence — those are the ones that stick. ## Recommended setup In Settings, turn on "Read the word" and "Read the whole sentence", and tick "Read the word first, then the whole sentence". Then when you meet a word you don't know while reading, just hover over it: a small card appears with its pronunciation, its Chinese meaning, and the Chinese translation of the whole sentence it sits in. The word is read aloud first, then the whole sentence — so you grasp how it's used right there in context, without breaking your reading flow. ## Main features - Instant look-up: hover over a word and the card appears; move away and it closes on its own — your reading is never interrupted. - Clear pronunciation: natural system voices read the word and the sentence for you; choose US or UK phonetics. - Learn words in sentences: you don't just see the meaning — you hear the complete sentence and understand its translation. - Works only where you want it: it activates on English pages only, so Chinese pages are left completely untouched. - Pin the card: keep it open for a closer look, and close it when you're done. A word you never read aloud is a word you'll never learn. Let EchoWord turn every English sentence you read into a chance to learn one.
