See any word used in real YouTube clips

Highlight a word on any webpage. WordClip finds a YouTube video where someone actually says it — and, when captions allow, jumps right to that moment. Built for language learners, vocabulary builders, and curious readers.

Add to Chrome — Free How it works

How it works

Three steps. No setup, no flashcards, no friction.

1

Highlight a word

Reading an article, watching a tutorial, browsing Reddit — anywhere on the web, just select a word.

2

WordClip finds a clip

We search YouTube for a video where the word appears. When captions pinpoint it, we jump right to that moment; otherwise the clip plays from the start.

3

Hear it in context

Watch the clip in a small overlay. See the transcript when captions are available. Cycle through alternatives. Close it and keep reading.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers. Email support@wordclip.app for anything else.

What is WordClip?

A Chrome extension. Highlight any word on any webpage and WordClip pops up a short YouTube clip of someone saying that word in context. Useful for language learners, vocabulary building, or just satisfying curiosity about how a word actually sounds when used.

Is WordClip free?

Yes. You can look up unlimited words and see a real YouTube clip and a quick definition for each, free, with no account or card. WordClip Pro is optional and unlocks cycling through multiple clips per word, the full dictionary (pronunciation and more meanings), and saving/exporting words to flashcard apps.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Subscriptions cancel at the end of the current billing period. No prorated refunds for partial periods, but you can request a full refund within 14 days of your first purchase by emailing support@wordclip.app.

What data does WordClip collect?

Only the word you look up — sent to our backend to find a matching YouTube video and to a dictionary service for the definition. We don't store browsing history, personal information, or content beyond your selected word. Payment data is handled entirely by Stripe (via ExtensionPay) and never touches our servers. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Does WordClip work on all websites?

Yes — anywhere you can highlight text. Articles, blogs, social media, online textbooks, web-based readers. The exception is sites that block content scripts (most banking and government portals), where it stays out of the way by design.

Which languages are supported?

Today, English. We pull from YouTube videos with English captions, so coverage is broad — common and uncommon words alike. More languages are on the roadmap.
