Everything the Natively Chrome extension does
One extension to communicate, understand, and learn in a second language - right inside the browser you already use, on every site you visit.
Make your writing sound native
Type anywhere β one tap and your text reads like a native speaker wrote it.
Learn how Make It Sound Native worksNatively is a Chrome extension for people who read, write, and watch in English as a second language. Instead of juggling a grammar checker, a translator, a dictionary, and a flashcard app, you get one extension that handles all of it without leaving the page.
It works on any website - your work tools, the articles you read, the videos you watch - and the pieces connect: the words you look up while reading or watching become the vocabulary it quizzes you on later. Below is everything it does, with a deeper page for each feature.
Make it sound native
Select any text and rewrite it in one click - Natively fixes the grammar and makes it read like a native wrote it, using the surrounding context. Works in Slack, Gmail, Notion, and any text field.
Smart subtitles on YouTube
Tap any word or phrase right in the subtitles to see what it means in the context of that exact sentence, without leaving the player.
Instant definitions in context
Look up any unfamiliar word while you read and get its meaning explained for the sentence you found it in - not a generic dictionary entry.
Save and remember vocabulary
Save the words you look up together with where you saw them, and review them with spaced repetition so they actually stick.
Instant translation
Translate any word or phrase on the page in place - no switching tabs or external tools.
Free grammar check
A built-in grammar checker that runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device - free and unlimited for English.
Works offline
Reading an English PDF or article on a plane with no Wi-Fi? Local AI models run corrections, translation, and lookups entirely on your device - no internet required.
Private by design
Cloud corrections are sent over HTTPS and never stored, and you can switch to local AI to keep everything on your machine.
Works everywhere you read and write
The extension follows you across the web - not just chat and email, but the articles, docs, and videos you consume.
Any site, any text field
Slack, Gmail, Notion, LinkedIn, your CRM and internal tools - hit the N button and your text is rewritten in place.
The pages and PDFs you read
Tap any word in an article or an English PDF open in your browser to understand it in context - online or offline.
The videos you watch
Smart subtitles turn YouTube into language practice, and every word you save flows into your vocabulary.
