Description
Hover over a German word to instantly see its translation, gender, pronunciation, and grammar. Hoverleser is a pop-up, near-instant, on-hover German-to-English dictionary that works on any page. What it tells you: • English meanings • Gender and part of speech • IPA Pronunciation • Grammar of the word (“plural”, “past participle”, “comparative”, etc.) Built for real text: • Inflected forms lead back to their dictionary word: Häuser → Haus, gesprochen → sprechen • Compound words are split into their parts: Hochzeitsgeschenk → Hochzeit + Geschenk • Derived words are explained: außerbörslich → from außer + Börse + -lich On-hover: • The pop-up follows your cursor and gets out of the way • Hold Shift to freeze the pop-up in place to click or highlight inside of it • A “Look up on LEO” link opens the whole word on LEO's dictionary for additional context Private and offline: The dictionary (about 342,000 entries from Wiktionary) downloads once and lives in your browser. After that, lookups never touch the network, and nothing you read or hover over is sent anywhere. No accounts, no analytics. Permissions: “Access your data for all websites” is needed to read the word under your cursor on any page. Nothing is ever stored or transmitted.
