WordSnap – Instantly Define and Hear Any Word

描述

WordSnap enhances your website’s content by making it interactive and educational. With a simple double-click, visitors can view a word’s definition in a clean tooltip and hear it pronounced aloud. It’s perfect for blogs, educational websites, and any content-heavy site where reader engagement matters.

Features:
– ✅ Instantly show word meanings with a double-click
– 🔊 Built-in voice pronunciation of the word and definition
– 🧠 Educational and retention-friendly for learners
– ⚡ Lightweight and performance-optimized (uses minimal JavaScript)
– 📱 Responsive design, works on desktop and mobile
– 🚫 No configuration needed—just install and activate

External Services

This plugin uses a third-party dictionary API to fetch word definitions:

  • Service: Free Dictionary API by DictionaryAPI.dev
  • Purpose: To retrieve English word definitions for the tooltip display.
  • What data is sent: Only the selected word (e.g., “apple”) is sent to the API when a user double-clicks a word on the page.
  • When it’s sent: On-demand, only when the user interacts with the page.
  • What data is received: A definition, example sentence, and pronunciation info for the selected word.
  • Personal data: No personal or sensitive user data is sent or received.
  • Note: As of now, the API does not publish an official privacy policy or terms of service. Please use at your discretion.
