Glimpse

Glimpse gives you instant word definitions without ever leaving the page you're reading. Simply highlight any word and a clean, non-intrusive popup appears with: • Definitions — clear, concise meanings organized by part of speech • Phonetic transcription — so you know how it's pronounced • Audio pronunciation — hear the word spoken aloud with one click, using real human recordings when available • Usage examples — see the word used in context Why Glimpse? • Zero friction — no clicks, no toolbar buttons, just highlight and go • On/off anytime — pause Glimpse in one click from the toolbar icon, no digging through Chrome's extension settings • Dark & light themes — choose your preferred look; your choice syncs across devices • Lightweight — no bloat, no tracking, no account required • Stays out of your way — dismiss with Escape, a click, or just keep reading Definitions come from Wiktionary (CC BY-SA 4.0) via FreeDictionaryAPI.com, with a direct Wiktionary backup if that service is unavailable. Pronunciation recordings come from Wiktionary. Open source at github.com/jawuanlewis/glimpse-ext Glimpse is free and private. It collects no user data, and only the word you highlight is sent to look up its definition and pronunciation. Note: after installing (or updating), refresh any tabs that were already open — Glimpse only activates on tabs loaded after install.
