🌿 From install to your first article
Getting started
01Install and pin
Add the extension from the download page, then pin it to the toolbar — that icon is where everything starts.
- Click the puzzle icon at the top right, find Mossglen, light up the pin next to it.
- The Mossglen icon in your toolbar means you are set. No browser restart needed.
- A number badge on the icon means words are due for review today.
02Pick a target language
The target language decides what counts as a new word. Eight to choose from, switchable at any time.
- On first open you pick a target language and roughly set your starting level.
- Switching languages deletes nothing: word list, level and reading history are tracked per language.
- Interface language is a separate setting, found under “My” inside the extension.
03Using the reading view
Click the toolbar icon on any page in your target language: ads and sidebars step aside, leaving the article.
- Tap any word for its meaning and to save it; select a sentence for a translation in place.
- Turn on narration to play sentence by sentence, with highlighting in step; adjust speed or replay a line.
- Turn on side-by-side to show a translation under each paragraph, without leaving the page.
04Saving and reviewing words
Saved words are scheduled by your forgetting curve and come back inside the sentence where you met them.
- Reviews are all multiple choice: recognising the meaning is enough, no self-grading.
- Right answers stretch the interval; wrong ones relearn on the spot and return tomorrow.
- A word graduates once it holds a long enough interval, and stops taking review time.
05Asking Pip
Pip is the companion reading with you, and it answers with your reading history and word list in hand.
- Hit a sentence you cannot parse: select it and ask for a breakdown.
- Ask how two words differ and it will quote sentences you read before.
- Or just ask it to recommend an article at your current level.
06Account, sync and usage
The full skeleton works without an account; once you log in, your data follows the account.
- Guest words stay in local browser storage and merge into your account when you log in.
- Log in on another device and your word list and review progress match.
- The free tier caps full translation and AI questions; Pro lifts the caps and opens every voice.
