Features

Contextual definitions

Not what the word means in general — what it means right here, in this sentence, the way this author used it.

11 languages

Paste text in Spanish, French, German, Russian, Japanese, and more. Get definitions in whatever language you prefer.

IPA pronunciation

See the phonetic transcription of every word and hear it spoken aloud with a single tap.

Etymology

Understand where words come from. Knowing a word's roots makes it stick — and makes the next related word easier.

Word bank

Save words you want to remember. Your personal vocabulary list, always one click away.

What readers are saying

"I read a lot of dense non-fiction and kept a dictionary tab open constantly. Lexio replaced that entirely — I just click the word and the meaning appears right in context. It actually understands what the author meant."

PhD student, philosophy

"English is my third language and literary vocabulary was always a wall for me. Lexio doesn't just give me a definition — it tells me the tone and register of the word, which is exactly what I was missing."

Translator, Berlin

"Our book club uses Lexio to prep before meetings. Instead of everyone arriving with different interpretations of the same passage, we actually discuss the ideas. The etymology feature alone has sparked so many conversations."
