A browser extension that provides definitions and explanations of selected text using ChatGPT.
What is the “Explain Selected” AI Chrome extension/plug-in?
The option to use ChatGPT allows you to instantly find relevant definitions and audio pronunciations from Merriam-Webster’s dictionary, based on the context in which a word is used. It also provides personalized explanations for any content you read online, ranging from slang to technical terms. Simply select any word or phrase on a web page and click the purple circle that appears. You can also save the items you want to remember to a personal list or share them with friends! This feature is particularly useful for words that have multiple meanings. Take the word “pound”, for example: does it refer to weight, an action, or the British currency? Unlike other dictionary apps, this feature intelligently resolves contextual ambiguity and determines the appropriate meaning based on the context in which the word is used.
