Explain Selected: Personalized Explanations for Online Text

Explain Selected is a free Chrome add-on developed by Explain Selected. It falls under the category of Browsers and is specifically listed as an Add-ons & Tools subcategory. This program goes beyond simple definitions by providing personalized explanations for any text you come across online, based on the surrounding context.

With Explain Selected, you can easily receive personalized explanations for words or phrases you encounter while browsing the web. Simply select the desired text, click on the purple circle that appears, and a context-aware explanation will be provided. This unique feature sets it apart from traditional dictionary apps.

In addition to personalized explanations, Explain Selected allows you to save selections to your personal list for future reference. You can also share selections with friends, making it a convenient tool for collaborative learning.

Explain Selected is particularly useful for words with multiple meanings. By using contextual disambiguation, it intelligently infers the relevant meaning based on the surrounding text. This feature is especially helpful when encountering words like "pounds" that can refer to weight, an action, or even the British currency.

Whether you're a student, a professional, or simply someone who enjoys expanding their vocabulary, Explain Selected is designed to accelerate the process of learning new words, jargon, and internet slang as you browse the web. Give it a try and enhance your online reading experience!

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
