Steal the Word is a browser extension for word note-taking, word highlighting, and reading assistance. You can save any word and its contextual information, and add annotations, notes, tags, and more. Wherever you go on the web, it will automatically highlight the saved words, and with just a click, you can quickly review the information you've saved.

Features:
Supports most web page text.
No language limitations, as long as the word matches exactly. However, the program cannot automatically recognize variations of the word, or convert between uppercase and lowercase. You can customize the matching rules or manually enter the variations.
Supports saving words with multiple meanings or multiple sentences.
In the word bank, you can browse by contextual information.
Uses free APIs to automatically query Chinese, Taiwanese, Cantonese, English, and Japanese pronunciations. You can manually disable this function on the settings page.

Problems that Steal the Word aims to solve:
(1) Increase familiarity with unfamiliar words on web pages.
(2) Link saved words to your own notes, eliminating the need to repeatedly consult a dictionary to find the appropriate definition.
(3) Increase opportunities for word note-taking, without spending time organizing them but never reviewing them.
(4) Efficiently organize word usage.
(5) Help you recall previously viewed web pages.

⚠️Note:
On some websites (such as CodeSandbox),text you are editing might be affected. Please manually set these websites to default off to avoid unexpected results.
Under normal circumstances, the extension's response time is within 0-200 milliseconds (ms), which would not heavily block the web page. However, on web pages with an unusually high amount of text (such as some W3C documents), or on devices with lower CPU performance, using this extension may significantly affect web page performance, causing a lag in operation. In these cases, you may consider using the extension only on specific web pages.
If you have suggestions, bug reports, or solutions to the above problems, you can submit them on GitHub or the support page.

您的想法很有趣，做為一個使用者，提供些反饋，希望軟體能更上層樓。 軟體更新時，若可能的話，請盡量能尊重使用者設定。 例如 漂浮視窗 在更新時常被自動開啟 chrome 會自動更新 widget 某些用戶不是很明白這件事 這可能導致他們看起來這個軟體的設定值變來變去 令人感到不穩定
