A Chrome extension explains hard words while videos play
The maker says they often paused videos to search for words they did not understand. They built Podinary to listen to audio from YouTube videos and podcasts, detect difficult words in real time, and show meanings without leaving the video. This is the first public version, and they are asking Chrome extension users for honest feedback.
