## What it is
Online Dictionary Helper is a Chrome/Firefox browser extension that shows definitions of selected words and phrases from online or built-in dictionaries via a popup, including on PDF documents. It also supports creating Anki flashcards through AnkiConnect and allows users to write custom dictionary scripts.

## Use cases
- look up word definitions by selecting text on any webpage
- translate words while reading PDF documents in the browser
- create Anki flashcards from looked-up words with sentence context
- use custom dictionary scripts to fetch definitions from online dictionaries
- study language reading with inline popup dictionary

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight in-browser dictionary popup while reading web pages or PDFs
- you use Anki for spaced-repetition vocabulary learning and want one-click card creation
- you need customizable dictionary sources via user-written scripts

## When to avoid
- you need a full standalone translation app or offline desktop dictionary
- you want machine translation of whole paragraphs rather than word/phrase lookup
- you need a browser other than Chrome or Firefox
