About VocaSpot - CEFR Vocabulary Highlighter

VocaSpot — Vocabulary Spotter for English Learners Learning English vocabulary from a textbook is one thing. Understanding words in the real world — in news, politics, economics — is another challenge entirely. VocaSpot bridges that gap. It quietly scans news articles as you read and highlights words that match your target CEFR level. Click any highlighted word and instantly see its definition in the context of the sentence you are actually reading — not a generic dictionary example. Built for English learners who want to improve their vocabulary through real reading — not flashcard drills. How it works Select your target vocabulary level — from A1 beginner to C2 proficient — and VocaSpot automatically spots relevant words as you browse. Up to 20 words are highlighted per article, keeping your reading experience clean and focused. Click any highlighted word to see its definition, phonetic pronunciation, synonyms, and links to Cambridge Dictionary and Merriam-Webster for deeper study. Not finding a word highlighted? Select any word or phrase on the page manually and VocaSpot will look it up instantly. CEFR levels explained CEFR stands for Common European Framework of Reference for Languages — the international standard used by language schools, universities, and employers worldwide to measure English proficiency. A1 — Beginner A2 — Elementary B1 — Intermediate B2 — Upper-Intermediate C1 — Advanced C2 — Proficient Works on major news sites including BBC News, The Guardian, CNN, Reuters and most article-based websites. Completely free — no catches No account required. No subscription. No data collected. No ads. Privacy first VocaSpot reads page text locally to identify vocabulary words. No page URLs, no personal data, no tracking of any kind.
