Features:
- When visiting a page with Russian text, click the owl icon in the toolbar. This will mark accents (vocal stress position) on Russian words. For example, предложение is converted to предложе́ние.
- After clicking the owl icon, move the mouse over any Russian word to display a pop-up with the English definition of the word.
*) Word base form and accent, e.g. окно́. Click on the Word base to show the full Wiktionary entry with etymology, declension and other information.
*) Word class and grammar, e.g. Noun or Adjective, neutral, inanimate
*) Key grammatical forms, e.g. neutral inanimate
*) For verbs, perfective or imperfective and the corresponding other form(s), e.g. пить impf (perfective вы́пить or попи́ть)
*) Definition and example sentences
Notes:
- The extension must be manually activated for every tab where you want it to run. For this, click on the button with the owl icon in the toolbar.
- In some cases, there are multiple possibilities for accenting the word. For example, окна can be окна́ (genitive singular) or о́кна (nominative/accusative plural). The extension does not attempt to guess the correct case, so it will mark the word о́кна́. The reader should of course not accent both vowels, but infer the correct pronunciation from the context.
This is a non-commercial, open-source project. There are no ads or hidden features.
Privacy policy: the extension does not record not sends any information to external servers. When a pop-up is displayed, the Wiktionary public API is called to retrieve the word definition to be displayed.

- (2022-07-25) ramah divine: is there anyway you could make the dictionary something like the zhongwen extension, where the extension is always active, and you don't have to manually click on the extension every time in order to mouse over words? if you could make that possible this extension would be perfect, but as of right now its kind of an annoyance to click on it every single time.
- (2021-12-27) Logan ᚛ᚂᚑᚌᚐᚅ᚜: So, I like to read Russian fiction online to help me improve my language ability This extension has been an absolute lifesaver for me. Before, I had to look up definitions and pronunciations of words manually. Now, I can simply hover over a word and it shows me the definition, and every word has a stress mark! Thank you for making such an amazing app!
- (2021-10-10) Kuhic Pasquale: very useful extension for russian learners!
- (2021-07-22) Aarne J: Very nice tool for learners of Russian!
- (2021-03-18) devils dust: Thanks for the plugin! My only wish is that it would work with text in Google docs. Also interesting that on Youtube, it only recognizes the video description, but not the comments..
- (2020-06-29) Vitto Po: It does not work. No pop up windows emerges. In the Options there is nothing. An unpolished and absolutely raw extension.
- (2020-01-10) Rusty Hayward: I have just begun using it today and it is a great help in correcting my pronunciation. Also it is very fast loading accents on the page.
- (2019-12-06) no comment: This app works on Google document where I study Russian. Thank you so much.
- (2019-11-18) Inga Vendelin: This is a great extension for all beginners learning Russian. Word stress is essential to Russian and this plugin really helps reading. My only problem is that not all of web fonts seem to be supported, and some texts are distorted by accent marks. Hope this can be solved soon! Thanks again for this great tool !
- (2019-08-19) Inti: I find it very useful. However, although my preferred definition language is English (English > Russian >French), all the context information appears only in Russian.
- (2019-06-08) John Keister: I surprised there aren't more review. I have tried several similar products and this one is the best. Simple, very effect and fast.
- (2019-05-31) Renaud “Jun” d'Avout d'Auerstaedt: Really cool extension, very helpful for Russian learners. I allowed the extension to read and change all data on websites I visit on click, which in practical terms means that I just have to click on the app icon on my toolbar to get all Russian text in the active tab accented. You can even copy-paste the accented Russian text and it keeps the accents. Very neat!
- (2019-04-23) Seems to work great so far, just a click of the button and the whole page loads with stress marks really fast, thank you so much for this.
- (2019-01-17) Brian O: Only works with UTF8. Also, the dictionary popup window only stays open for about 5 seconds, which is too short to read for long dictionary entries.
