*************** YOUR PRIVACY IS TOUCAN’S TOP PRIORITY ***************
When you add Toucan, it says that we can “read and change all your data on the websites you visit.” That’s only partially true. A more accurate description is that it allows Toucan to translate the words you see on a webpage into the language you’re trying to learn. While we’re sure you’re a super interesting person, we do not have any interest in tracking what you search for or what you buy. It’s just not our thing.

Latest reviews
- (2024-10-14) Kevin: A good extension, but it does have a tendency to get homonyms wrong. For example, the sentence "He never looked back" became "He nunca looked espalda." The word espalda means back, as in the part of your body. However, in this context, the appropriate word would be atrás, meaning back as in behind. The full sentence is "nunca miró hacia atrás".
- (2024-09-10) Caleb: So. This is most DEFINITLY NOT a rip-off of Duolingo. But I'll give some credit, I like the idea of a toucan better than a creepy owl. 💀
- (2024-08-06) Alexis: pretty good extension I'm using it to help with my german skills when im not of duolingo the practice is a bit glitchy though wont let me practice
- (2024-07-16) Deacon: Very useful if you're at an intermediate level with a language and you want to learn new vocabulary, but not especially useful if you are at the beginning and still learning how the language works. Learning new words in isolation like this is not terribly helpful if you're still new to understanding how sentences are constructed. Would be a lot more useful if it could translate an entire sentence. Also, you can't complete the progress tasks because there's no info on the site about any sort of Premium plan (the link just goes to your account settings) and the FAQ and Contact Us links go to broken pages. Great concept and has potential but current state makes it of limited value until you're further along in your learning.

- (2023-06-15) C19755395: I set that I am a beginner. However, it keeps translating words for an advanced level; I'm mostly busy deleting words and phrases they keep translating, although I have no use for them, such as "political career". I can hardly add any new words to the ones I want to learn or remember. There is no option to add words by oneself; one can only wait that they, by chance, to translate a word that could be useful.

- (2023-05-08) jy: I speak Chinese and I want to learn English, it can't.居然没有中文母语选项,特地登录来评价。
- (2023-04-24) 恒安: 中文母语,不能学英文,什么垃圾软件
- (2023-03-19) 源: Great. Minus two star because there is no native Chinese version.
- (2023-03-03) Marion: Toucan is great for adding to vocabulary! By substituting words in the text language with words from the target language, I'm learning new things every day! I have it set for advanced, and that's so helpful! Thanks, Toucan, for making language-learning fun!
- (2023-02-17) Long,: Toucan is an awesome and effective language-learning tool that not only translates the language of your choice but allows you to practice word recognition and proper pronunciation of each new word. Toucan works, and the Add-on is quite convenient. All you have to do is browse the sites you normally visit.
- (2023-02-02) 小川: Great. Minus one star because there is no native Chinese version.
- (2022-12-26) Ischtar: Neuerdings ***** ständig beim Aufruf einer neuen Seite, auch bei jeder Suche in der Suchmaschine, gleich die Einstellungsleiste mit auf und verdeckt diese teilweise. Das nervt extrem! Kann man das irgendwie abstellen?
- (2022-11-26) sam: I love having Toucan on my laptop because I really want to become fluent in Spanish and Toucan has helped me to learn to translate words from English to Spanish easier
- (2022-11-12) 晓萍: 我打不开吗
- (2022-10-24) Joseph: Fantastic add in to easily practice a new language. I'm excited to build my vocabulary in a natural way as I got about my regular browsing. Thank you Toucan fam!
- (2022-10-07) Hilda: Just like another reviewer said, this has such a smooth easy transition to learn key phrases while seamlessly surfing the web. I honestly wish I knew about this sooner... they should have advertised it more or something. I only knew about it when I downloaded the dark reader extension. I like how there's the option to take a break and hit pause - unlike in duolingo, I don't think there's that option which is why there's the 'meme' of the mascot annoying you 24/7 in notifications lol. 😂 All in all, I and everyone else who has experienced this extension greatly appreciate the work that has been done to make this learning experience possible over the net. You can see the context of the words and overtime learn lots of vocabulary which is key to learning words in the long term. I really wish I knew of this sooner, kudos to the team for the extension/app!! 😃😁🎉💗💗 This reminds me of the app "drops" but even better since it's more than 5 minutes, and can virtually learn many more.
- (2022-09-10) Brandon: This is a really fun and slick way of introducing a new language into everyday tasks. That being said, I think the fact that Russian isn't a language option blew it for me. I will use the extension more when Russian is included. WE NEED MORE LANGUAGE OPTIONS!
- (2022-08-16) 开彦: 怎么没有母语是中文的?
- (2022-08-10) Alexander: Phenomenal extension. It significantly improves the immersion and learning experience.
- (2022-08-10) 云天: 希望能添加中文母语
- (2022-08-05) 2: 怎么没有use chinese learn English呢
- (2022-07-27) Bill: There are dozens of browser add-ins that claim to do what Toucan does, but most of them barely don't work or don't work at all, and NONE of them have the polish, depth, and visually attractive user experience as Toucan. Also, it's not enough to recognize individual words - you have to recognize phrases. I'm highly incented to consider the premium offerings because as someone who's learning Italian, it's great to see words in context and be able to recognize what they mean. I also use it on my iOS devices and it's great there too. Great experience.
- (2022-07-24) Bree: Toucan is an amazing app! the CEO is really nice! I am currently switching between French and Japanese, and it's really fun and cool to how the app works! (my name on the thing is jordan)
- (2022-07-21) 神: 目前是用英语学习西班牙语,感觉很不错,学习方便,融入到日常使用中,出现频率也合适,比单纯背单词印象更深刻了,界面也很美观。期待之后的中文版本🥰
- (2022-07-17) 广辛: 希望尽快添加会中文学习英文的形式
- (2022-07-14) 姜: 根本用不了重新安装也不行😕
- (2022-07-06) 222: 不支持中文学习其他语言
- (2022-07-02) Emma: I think Toucan is a wonderful app. Toucan allows you to learn during your daily life of scrolling through the internet. It allows you to also be able to block sites and adjust how much translation you like on the page. While the App is still developing, the team is so welcoming! I have talked to the CEO of Toucan, and she is so open to ideas and feedback! Overall, a great app and flock team! Also, a cute mascot.
- (2022-06-18) lai: support chinese.
- (2022-06-15) David: Straight up does not work when it encounters a hyperlink. It will translate the word to whatever language you're trying to learn but when you hover over the link you can't get the translation. Google News was the site in question.
- (2022-06-14) Micaiah: Amazing App! I though it wouldn't work well at first, to be honest! But, Its a amazing app! The Ceo of Toucan is nice and! oh there is too much good things about this! I highly recommend! have a Toucan Tag (day in German)
