Kirill Pankin (ID: 000000ef92325072) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/26/2021 Very useful for me while I learning French when there is a need to check a transcription or natural pronounce of some word. Thank you very much! Small suggestion: It would be good to have an item in the selection context menu which behaves similarly to extension button. And an optional popping-up "bubble-button" would be just great! :)
