About HoldMyWord: Vocabulary Builder & Dictionary

HoldMyWord is a vocabulary builder for everything you read online. Double-click a word you don't know, press "Hold it", and get a short, simple definition with an example sentence. The word is saved to your personal dictionary, together with the sentence you found it in, so you can come back to it and learn new words for good. Save words in any language, from English and German to Spanish and Japanese, all in one word list with nothing to set up. You pick what the explanations are written in: English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Türkçe or Русский. Made for students, expats and curious readers who meet new words every day. FEATURES • Save words from any website: double-click a word and press "Hold it", or select it and choose "Save word to HoldMyWord" from the right-click menu. • Simple definitions: AI explains each word in plain words, adds an example sentence, and fixes the spelling if you mistyped it. • Context kept: every word stays with the sentence and the page you found it on. • Your word list on holdmyword.com: folders, favorites, search, and export to CSV or PDF. • Quick access: your latest words in the extension's popup. • Free plan: simple explanations for 100 words a week. • Review, free while in beta: each word comes back right before you'd forget it (spaced repetition), with a quick exercise that gets harder as the word sticks: pick the meaning, fill the gap in the sentence you found it in, then type the word. HOW IT WORKS 1. Install HoldMyWord and sign in from its popup, or sign up with your email. 2. While you read, double-click any word and press "Hold it". 3. Open holdmyword.com to see your words, sort them into folders and review them. PRIVACY The extension doesn't read or send anything until you save a word. Then it sends the word, the sentence around it, and the page's title, address and language to your HoldMyWord account. To write the explanation, an AI service gets the word, its sentence and the page's language. No ads, no tracking, no selling your data. You can export or delete everything at any time.
