Description

We provide two Chrome extensions for English learners. The first one (the one you're looking at) shows word pronunciation by diacritics; the second one (see below) shows word meaning in a box.

1. PIE (English Learner's Edition)

Phonetically Intuitive English (English Learner's Edition) is a Chrome extension that can automatically add diacritics to English words to make their pronunciation crystal clear, based on a one-page, easy-to-learn scheme (included in this extension).

This "English Learner's Edition" is intended for people who learn English as a second language (ESL) to learn correct pronunciation (and pronunciation is also key to spelling); therefore the scheme mimics the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) which is familiar to most ESL learners around the world. We also provide a "Literacy Edition" on our website for American children learning to read, which uses a slightly different scheme.

Five modes (Full, Less Full, Medium, Lite and Extra Lite) are provided for users of different English levels. Modes for advanced learners (Less Full, Medium, Lite and Extra Lite) will show fewer diacritics.

2. Word Translator

People who learn English as a second language may want to know a word's meaning in addition to its pronunciation. To address this need, we also provide a free Chrome extension called Word Translator that can translate the English word under the user's mouse to his native language.

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
