Hà Lê
Shoddy!
Memoona Ameer
It is not saving the words I search although I enabled the setting. Hopefully, it will get resolved soon.
narmada kajlan
Simple and reliable for instant word meanings, just double-click to get definitions without leaving the page. Perfect for quick learning and vocabulary building.
Muhammad Adil
Not working for pdf and also many words are not available
Abhishek Rai A
Great
Om Gupta
Everything works perfectly but just ADD A FEATURE FOR PDF too.
Mm mmm
Doesn't work like the picture...pop up doesn't work. It just is a little dictionary icon you have to click on, use their search bar, and DRAGGING the word so you don't have to copy it doesn't even work...might as well use google then. Search bar is faster.

EVERYTHIG IS JUST FINE JUST ADD A FEATURE FOR PDF TOO
R Kushwah
please make it to work in built in chrome PDF viewer. Not as aspect, good if looks like real dictionary define meaning, nouns, verb, synonyms.
Crisjer Maglasang
Awesome! It's easy to handle. However, it would be even better if pronunciation symbols were included.
AL AMIN
It is so unfair that every language is available without Bengali. We want Bengali translation immediately. We hope Google team well do a fair decision for us thank you guys :)
Achintya Gautam
This extension makes learning so much easier. Just double-click on any word, and the meaning pops up instantly! It’s fast, accurate, and saves time while reading or studying. Highly recommend it to all students and readers!

Very useful tool. I have been using it since 2018. The only issue is, if I have "Display pop-up when I select a word or phrase" selected, I cannot have it pronounce the words. It just doesn't work.
Wajiha Abidi
Thank you for making my life easier.
YESEUL JEONG
I want to use in pdf files too...
Bob Loucks
Simple and handy... Clicking to hear the pronunciation works FINE, can't say why others are complaining (??)
Ivan Bachalo
Please add Ukrainian to the list of supported translated languages
Edward Avendano
I Installed It Earlier & It Seems Really Useful.
Md Salinur Rahman
good
Mitanshu Verma
when i select a word , it gives the meaning but if i click the cross icon , it pops up again , so i cant access the area under the pop up , because it keeps coming after tapping the cross icon , thats annoying , hope this is taken seriously .
Kevin Wong
When I try to use the tool to listen to a word's pronunciation, it won't work unless you're on a Google page

Such a lousy and trashy extension. It wasted my time.
Bryan Fernando
Very sigma tool
Perrson DC
very very useful tool
Landis Reed (LandisTwo)
it's ok. could be faster and Needs to look More like a Dictionary and not a 'fortune cookie' ticker tape... but, i guess that's what makes it quick. 9 out of 10 words I 'look up' (double click on) are Not in Google's dictionary, which seem weird, being they've search the whole web. the option to 'add to personal dictionary' is a lie. there is No way to 'add words i look up' within a webpage. none. only text fields.
Warren Halderman
Good extension. Would be better if Chrome would let me disable extensions for specific PWAs.
Anjali Chaurasia
I absolutely love the simplicity and utility of this extension but for some reason it refuses to work on pdfs, the speaker icon too does nothing when I press it so that's why I'll give it 4 stars-
minh hieu bui
Helpful.
Sameh
Incredibly helpful. Even works for translating from other languages.
Caden Nguyen
4 stars because it is useful. While you might say it should be 5 stars, it is sometimes hard to understand certain words in the definition. Certain terms are not in the dictionary. Also, if your school allow this extension, you should install it. This might help cheat in school in tests (if possible or if the test is done on a device). Overall, I would say install it (if it is not blocked for you) because it can save time and can cheat in school. We do not want to take this down this extension
dev vaibhav
I think i am facing this issue recently. The extension gives me the definition by double clicking a word but no sound when I click the speaker icon. I double checked my speaker settings and they were ok. Hope it gets fixed soon. Thanks in advance!
Art of Healing
Great.
Ahmad Tamanna
Great but I wish there was search history like google translate.
Forest
very useful and easy to use
Md. Shakil Khan
It is a great tool that allows users to access relevant word meanings quickly. However, one thing I want to point out is that this extension does not extract words from PDFs automatically as it does on webpages. If this feature could be added, it would probably be the best extension ever. 😊
Micah liu
it annoys me, it always shows "No definition found." so I launched my extension :"OMG Dictionary and Word Collector"
Rahul Tiwari
Simple and easy to use. Does its job perfectly!
ANM Jubaer
really helpful...
Pedro
1) I want to change the background color. 2) Why not show me the phonetic symbols? 3) I want to change the font and size of the pop up. THANK YOU. I REALLY LOVE THIS
Bibek Ghimire
"This feature is incredibly useful. I previously encountered it on my Android device, where highlighted words are automatically searched. I then sought the same functionality on my PC. Upon discovering it on the Chrome Web Store, I immediately added the extension, brimming with excitement. Diving into exploration, I was astonished by its features. It included functionalities I had been contemplating and actively searching for, or even considering developing myself – such as automatic searching of highlighted words and phrases. Most impressively, it also records the history of searched terms, however, the audio for pronunciation is not working." Thank you google.
Nabil Islam
Thank you

Why does Google always take down small wonders that are beloved by tens of thousands of people? What do they get out of making their platform less useful?
Isabel Carbalan
SO CONVENIENT! Please don't take it down! As a student, I use this extension multiple times daily. Love the synonyms and time it saves instead of looking everything up individually. Definitely recommend!!!
Ancient Psychic Tandem War Elephant
Best dictionary extension ever
Paris Lloyd
