About

I was reading research papers last month and found myself switching tabs for finding meanings of a word and sometimes use AI to understand it better. So I decided to build myself this web app. I started out as a basic dictionary lookup to building a vocabulary learner. I added AI explanations and vocabulary library where all words are shared with their meanings with context (pdf name, pdf line etc) https://lexicareader.app submitted by /u/Tall-Explanation-476 [link] [comments]

Dictionary extensions already handle this adequately.
