How it works

Three steps to build your vocabulary

No flashcards, no separate app. Learn in the flow of your normal reading.

  1. 1

    Install & sign in

    Add Vocab Lab to Chrome and sign in. It quietly gets to work on the English pages you already read.

  2. 2

    Click any word

    Eligible words become clickable. Tap one to open a compact card with its definition, pronunciation, audio, examples, and Vietnamese meaning.

  3. 3

    Mark your progress

    Tell Vocab Lab how much attention a word needs. It remembers your choice and reuses it across every page you visit.

Features

Everything you need, in context

Contextual highlighting

Words are emphasised on the page based on how much attention you want to give them — right where you encounter them.

Pronunciation & audio

Hear how a word sounds and see its phonetic pronunciation so you can say it with confidence.

Vietnamese meaning

Built for Vietnamese learners: each word can show a clear English-to-Vietnamese translation alongside examples.

Remembers your words

Your familiarity with each word is saved and reused across pages, so learning compounds as you read.

Real usage examples

See words used in real sentences to understand meaning and context — not just a dry dictionary entry.

Per-site control

Turn Vocab Lab on or off for any site, so it works only where you want it to.
