Save the words you hear
in Google Meet.

How it works

1. Turn captions on in the call. In Google Meet, turn captions on with the CC button. Lexpad reads them only while they are on.
2. Rest the pointer on the captions. A still copy of the last lines appears over them, so the words stop moving while the call goes on.
3. Look back if you missed it. “Earlier” in the still copy shows the last ten lines, for a word said a moment ago.
4. Click a word. The Lexpad card opens with the meaning, part of speech, level and pronunciation, written by AI.
5. Add it. Press Add to Lexpad or Enter. Move the pointer away and the live captions carry on.

Nothing changes in the call. The still copy is drawn only on your screen, and your keys stay Meet’s.

What is saved, and what never is

Each word you add goes into your own notebook and comes back for practice on a schedule.

Privacy in the call

• While the call goes on, nothing about it leaves your browser. A word is sent, with its caption line, only when you click it, so the meaning can be written.
• The last ten caption lines are kept only in the page’s memory, and gone when the page closes or you switch the feature off.
• Lexpad reads what was said, never who said it.
• The extension never touches your microphone, your camera or the meeting’s controls.
• Read the privacy policy.

Using it at work

Meetings are where a working language grows fastest, and where you can least stop to look a word up. A few habits help:

1. Save phrases, not only single words. “Keep the momentum going” is easier to reuse than “momentum” alone.
2. Keep a few per meeting. The words colleagues use again and again are the ones worth having.
3. Review them before the next call. On the commute in the Android app, or on Today in the web app; each word comes back on growing gaps.
4. Catch the rest of the day too. In e-mails and documents, select a word with the extension, or press ⌘⇧L or Ctrl+Shift+L in any app with Lexpad for Mac and Windows.

Switch it off

In the Lexpad menu, under Meetings, Click words in Google Meet captions is on at first; turn it off and Meet is left alone. The small ⋯ in the still copy turns Lexpad off on Meet altogether, until you turn it back on from the menu.

Price

The extension is free. Each meaning it writes uses the same AI allowance as the app: 25 AI cards a day (400 a month) on Free, 150 AI cards a day (2,000 a month) on Pro. Both the daily and the monthly number apply: the daily one comes back after midnight UTC, the monthly one on the 1st (UTC). Every new account gets Pro free for 14 days, no card needed. Pricing.
