Highlight GRE vocabulary on any webpage.
This is a Chrome Extension designed to aid one's vocabulary building process, in a subtle manner. Pervasive GRE searches a webpage, and highlights words in the Barrons GRE 4,579 Wordlist, adding tooltips contain relevent definitions. In addition, Pervasive GRE also handles affixed words, extracting the correct word stem for your reference (Eg.: implied -> imply, liabilities -> liability). The goal is to bring to attention the new words you encountered in your daily surfing the net, turning leisure reading into pervasive learning opportunities.
Pervasive GRE works completely offline, with both build-in dictionary and spell checking.
Though this app is designed with aiding GRE preperation as its goal, it certainly helps general English language learners as well.

- Best extension to find article which are full of GRE word. Loved it . Is there any way i can add my own gre word, because some of High frequency word are missing from your Database or programming.
- Nahid Hasan
- It is really helpful.Can you plz add the feature " when i click the GRE it will highlight the gre words, again when i click it it will make words not highlighted." Currently once it highlights the words in a page..there is no way to make them not highlighted. Again thanks for the nice extension
- Rudy Silva
- It's pretty good. It took a while to figure out that it was off by default and you have to click the icon to enable it. Also, it seems like "options" on the drop down menu has not been enabled for a long time. Still it works pretty well. You can mouse over the highlighted words and the definition will appear. I really love that feature.
- Kyubyong Park
- I love this. But he "Options" is not activated. I totally agree with Zach. I also want to make my own word list including their definition.

- THE best extension ever!
- Ajinkya Kawale
- Absolutely the 'best' academic app on the internet. Really very very useful.
- Zach Diamond
- Seems very useful; however, it would be much more helpful if you could designate words NOT to show. Additionally, would be great if it consistently had a pop-up of total words on a page, rather than requiring you to click the button every single webpage.

- 感谢大神! 有两个建议： 1. 好像没开一个网页都要点Pervasive GRE按钮才能开启GRE词汇高亮，能否把高亮GRE词汇设定为默认？ 2. 能否扩展一下词汇库？扩到红宝书的20,000+ 词汇？
