Connect once, no password
The extension signs in through the Lexpad web app, so you never type your password into it.
- Click the Lexpad button in the browser toolbar and choose Connect.
- The web app asks “Connect the Lexpad extension?”. Allow it.
- Done. The extension has a sign-in of its own, listed under Settings, Signed-in devices as “Browser extension”, where you can sign it out at any time.
Select, look, add
- Select a word or a short phrase (up to four words) and press the small + button, or right-click and choose “Add to Lexpad”. The right-click item is always there, even with the button turned off.
- A card opens with the part of speech, level, pronunciation and up to three meanings with examples, written by AI with the page’s sentence as context, and the sentence it was seen in.
- Press Enter or “Add to Lexpad” to save; Esc closes the card.
- It is never offered inside text fields, so writing on a page is undisturbed.
What is saved
A word you already have is reported as already added.
The sentence
The sentence from the page becomes the word’s first example.
Where you met it
A private note: “Seen on” the page title and address.
Choosing the notebook
The extension menu lets you pick which notebook new words go to. If a selected word is in a script that notebook cannot hold, for example Arabic while an English notebook is chosen, it goes to the one notebook that can, and the card tells you which. The same menu switches the + button on or off and disconnects the browser.
Privacy and permissions
- It asks only for storage, the right-click menu and access to the Lexpad API; never your tabs, your history or permission to run remote code.
- It never sends what is on the pages you read. While connected, it fetches your list of notebooks when a page loads, so it can offer the right one.
- Opening the card sends the selected text and its sentence so the meaning can be written; adding the word saves the page’s title and address with it.
- Read the privacy policy for the full account.
Browsers
Chrome and Chromium browsers
Chrome, Edge, Brave and Opera, through the Chrome Web Store.
Firefox
Firefox on a computer, from Firefox Add-ons. Firefox for Android is not supported yet.
Language
The extension’s own screens are in English; words and meanings can be in any of your notebook languages. Adding a word needs a connection.
Plan
The extension is free. Its meanings use the same AI allowance as the app, which Pro raises.
Good to know
Questions
Does it read the pages I visit?
No. It never sends page content. It sends only the text you select and its sentence when you open the card, and the page title and address when you add the word.
Can I use it without the + button?
Yes. Turn the button off in the extension menu and use the right-click “Add to Lexpad”, which is always there.
