Installing Nounce.
Nounce lives inside your web browser as an extension— a small add-on that puts a Nounce button in your toolbar and works on any page you read. You don't need to be technical. Here's every step.
Nounce is launching on the Chrome Web Store shortly. The steps below are exactly what you'll do — want a ping the moment it's live?
Before you start
You need the Google Chromebrowser (or another Chromium browser — Microsoft Edge, Brave, Arc all work). If you read websites in Chrome, you're ready.
Add Nounce to your browser
Click the button below. It opens the Chrome Web Store— Google's official, safe place for extensions. On that page, clickAdd to Chrome, then confirm with Add extension in the popup.
Pin it so you can see it
Chrome tucks new extensions behind a puzzle-piece icon at the top-right of the browser. Click it, find Nounce, and click the pin so the Nounce icon stays visible in your toolbar. (Optional, but it makes Nounce one click away.)
Sign in
Click the Nounce icon to open it, type your email, and we'll send a 6-digit code — no password to remember. Enter the code and you're in. The free plan gives you 5 lookups and 5 pronunciation checks every day.
Use it on any word
On any webpage, highlight a word with your mouse, then press Alt + Q (Option + Q on a Mac) — or click the Nounce icon. The overlay opens right there with the pronunciation, what the word means in that sentence, and a say it button to practice.
The first time you tap say it, Chrome asks to use your microphone — clickAllow. Nounce listens, then shows you which sound to fix.
The “g” is silent — glide straight to “dime.”
