Hover any Chinese word for pinyin and meaning
Uberlang is a free Chrome extension. Rest your mouse on Chinese text on any website to see the pinyin, English definitions and the traditional or simplified form.
Pinyin with tone marks
Every reading of the word, not just the first one, right where you are reading.
Simplified and traditional
Works on both scripts and shows the other form alongside the word.
Save words as you read
Keep the words you want to learn. Export them to Anki, Quizlet, Memrise or CSV with Uberlang Pro.
150 free lookups a day
No account needed to start. Pro removes the daily limit.
Watching Chinese shows?
The Uberlang Mac app adds pinyin and English over video subtitles in any player. See how it works.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes. The free plan includes 150 lookups a day and 50 saved words, shared across every language. One Uberlang Pro plan removes the limits and adds export for every app and language.
Which websites does it work on?
Any normal website in Chrome: news, social media, web novels, forums. Chrome does not let extensions run on its own settings pages or the Chrome Web Store.
Does it work in Edge or Brave?
Yes. Edge, Brave and other Chromium browsers can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
Does it send what I read to a server?
Dictionary lookups happen inside the extension. We only store your account email, usage counts for the free limits, and saved words if you turn on sync.
