Parolina

About

Turn everyday web reading into lasting vocabulary. Select any word or phrase on a webpage, see an instant translation, and save it to your personal vocabulary — without leaving the page or breaking your reading flow.

Parolina is a privacy-first language-learning companion that lives in your browser. It helps readers, students, expats, and travelers remember the words they meet while reading articles, blogs, news, research papers, menus, and more.

HOW IT WORKS
- Select text on any page — a floating button appears
- One click saves the word with its translation, source URL, and surrounding context
- Review it later with spaced repetition until it sticks

WHY PAROLINA
- Instant translation popup the moment you select text
- Smart prefill powered by Google Translate, with an offline fallback
- 7 practice modes: flashcards, multiple choice, drag & drop, typing, reverse, cloze, and word reveal
- Spaced repetition with 8 interval levels — words you struggle with come back more often
- Daily reminders and a toolbar badge showing what's due
- Progress tracking: streaks, goals, and per-dictionary statistics
- Organize words into separate dictionaries by language or topic
- Export anytime: CSV and JSON backup — your data, always yours

PRIVACY-FIRST BY DESIGN
Your vocabulary stays on your device, stored locally in your browser (IndexedDB). No account, no sign-in, no cloud storage by default, no tracking, and zero telemetry. The only thing ever sent off your device is the exact text you select — sent solely to Google Translate to fetch a translation. Full pages, browsing history, and personal data are never transmitted.

WHO IT'S FOR
- Readers of foreign news, blogs, and articles
- Students and exam candidates (TOEFL, IELTS, JLPT)
- Expats and immigrants learning the language around them
- Travelers prepping the words they'll actually use
- Bilingual professionals keeping a second language sharp
