Vocabsorb quietly swaps English words on any webpage with their German translations — color-coded by grammatical gender. No flashcards. No apps. Just passive absorption as you read.
Words on any page look like this
Add English→German word pairs in the extension popup. Choose the grammatical article (der/die/das) for each noun.
Vocabsorb scans every page you visit and replaces matched words in real time — no page reload, no interruptions.
Hover any highlighted word to see a frosted-glass tooltip with the German word, its article, the English original, and a pronunciation button.
Vocabulary enters your memory through context — the same way you learned your first language. No study sessions required.
Nouns are tinted red (der), violet (die), or amber (das) so you absorb grammatical gender visually with every word you read.
Add, edit, and delete word pairs from the popup. Search your list, see a count breakdown by article, and export/import as JSON.
Tap the speaker button in the hover tooltip to hear the German word spoken aloud using native Web Speech synthesis.
Exclude any site where you don't want swaps — banking, work tools, anything. Toggle per-site or add domains manually.
Runs on any webpage — news, Reddit, Twitter, Wikipedia. Handles dynamic content and single-page apps via MutationObserver.
Hover any highlighted word and a frosted-glass card appears instantly with the German word, its grammatical article with gender label, the English original, and a one-tap pronunciation button.
The colored top bar matches the word's grammatical gender so the information is absorbed before you even read it.
