This is what a page looks like with GlossLink turned on. Hover any yellow term.
The patient in 304 is NPO until 0600 with a STAT order pending ABG results. The RN checks the MAR before the next ADL pass, charts PRN pain in the EHR, and reviews the H&P from admission. BP is trending up, SpO2 holding at 94% on 2L via NC, and the CBC shows mild leukocytosis. Dx: rule-out sepsis. Hand-off to ICU at 1900; make sure the CNA knows about the DNR and that we're still HIPAA-compliant with the family updates.
Same letters. Different worlds.
The same abbreviation means completely different things in different jobs. To a lawyer, POProtective Order = Protective Order. To a nurse, POPost-Op = Post-Op. To a manager, POPurchase Order = Purchase Order. To an ESL learner, wholesomePromoting health or well-being; morally good is a word you look up 4 times a week — until GlossLink remembers it for you.
👆 Hover the yellow words — that's exactly how GlossLink feels on every page.
🏢 For onboarding & teams
New hires speak your company's language on day one.
Every company runs on its own acronyms, systems, and jargon — and every new employee spends weeks decoding them. Give them your glossary instead.

This is what the page looks like with your personal glossary. Hover any highlighted term.
The politician's rhetoric was quintessentially partisan, invoking hegemony and fungibility in the same breath — a flabbergasting display of obfuscation. The pundits called it disingenuous; his supporters called it bold.
💡 The magic: you add each word once. It lights up on every article, subtitle, and PDF you read — forever.
🔗 Where it works
Works alongside every course platform you already use.
Every subtitle, transcript, article, and PDF becomes a lesson that never stops teaching. Words you save keep re-appearing highlighted with your definition on everything you read — so you learn faster, remember longer, and never look the same word up twice.

Quick answers
What can GlossLink highlight?+
Anything you put in your glossary — acronyms (NPO, API, LTV), abbreviations (Dr., MR, WD), jargon phrases (Motion to Compel, All Cash Offer), product names, medical terms, legal terms, restaurant lingo… whatever you read a lot of.
Is GlossLink a hover dictionary or word highlighter?+
Yes — GlossLink is a custom glossary Chrome extension: it highlights words from your list on any webpage or PDF and shows your definition when you hover. Think of it as a hover dictionary, acronym expander, and vocabulary builder in one — for medical abbreviations, legal terms, ESL vocabulary, or your company's internal acronyms.
Does it work on PDFs?+
Yes. GlossLink highlights matching terms inside PDFs that open in Chrome, in addition to regular web pages.
Where does my glossary live?+
In your browser, using chrome.storage.local. It never leaves your computer. We do not run a server that sees your data.
How does the free plan and trial work?+
GlossLink is free forever for your first 20 words — they highlight with your definitions on every site, always. Your first 7 days also unlock every Pro feature (unlimited words, quizzes, PDFs, share links) so you can try it all. After the trial you keep your 20 words working; upgrade for $9.99/mo or $75/year to unlock unlimited. No card needed to start.
How do I add, change, or delete a word?+
Add or change: double-click any word on any page — a '+ Add to GlossLink' button appears. Click it, type (or edit) the definition, save. It highlights instantly, everywhere. Delete or manage your whole list: click the GlossLink icon in your Chrome toolbar and open the 'Add, edit & delete terms' section.
Do I have to build the glossary myself?+
No. Double-click any word on any page and type its meaning — done. Or use the built-in prompt that asks ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity to generate a starter glossary for your field. Copy → paste → done.
Does it work on phones or tablets?+
No — GlossLink is a desktop Chrome extension. Chrome doesn't support extensions on phones or tablets (that's true for every extension, including Grammarly). It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chromebooks.
Do you offer refunds?+
GlossLink is free forever for your first 20 words, and the 7-day Pro trial lets you test every paid feature before paying a cent. Because of that, all sales are final. You can cancel anytime and you won't be charged again.
