Extension summary

Beta release

Development in hiatus - I originally built this tool for myself. And as I searched on, I found that https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/selection-search/gipnlpdeieaidmmeaichnddnmjmcakoe is a better tool for me. So, if there is no further request, I would leave this extension here as is.

To use - In any webpage, you highlight a word or phrase (in any languages), right click, choose the "Search Forvo" option menu, then a new tab is opened and you get the pronunciations of the word there. If Forvo doesn't have the entry yet, you can add (to request for the pronunciation) there.

Hello. Can you add something such? I would like when I highlight the text with a mouse I can see a little window above with a pronunciation. I like how it did in google translate...

Thank you for your work! Now, it's so convenient to look for the pronunciation of person's names.
