What E-Brain does
E-Brain is a Chrome extension distributed through the Chrome Web Store that turns any web page into a context-aware dictionary. Rather than looking up a word in isolation, it feeds the surrounding sentence to a large language model and returns a definition that matches how the word is actually being used. That helps with internet slang, technical jargon, and words that carry multiple senses.
How it works
Users highlight a word or short phrase, and the extension asks the connected AI model to identify the part of speech and produce a contextual definition. Users can pick their preferred backend from Google Gemini, OpenAI ChatGPT, or Anthropic Claude. The extension can read the definition aloud through text-to-speech and can save decoded words into a personal Word Bank alongside the sentence they came from, which can later be exported for use in flashcard apps.
