All six let you highlight text on a webpage and read it in your own language. Only one of them turns that reading into a deck you actually study. Sori makes every page you visit a source of flashcards: highlight a word, get the definition, and it joins a review schedule built around when you are about to forget it. The others hand you a translation and move on.

Where Sori is different
All six handle highlighted text well enough. Sori is the one built for learning the language, not just getting past it.
One tap turns a lookup into a card with the definition, word type and pronunciation already on it. FSRS-5 brings it back right before you forget.
Pin a word and it stays highlighted where you found it. Back a week later, the meaning is a hover away, in your own words, in that sentence.
A definition in the word's own language once you can think in it. A full bilingual entry with word type and IPA until then.
Competitor features above are taken from each product's own Chrome Web Store listing, checked in July 2026: Google Translate, DeepL, Mate Translate, Rememberry, Immersive Translate. All five were re-checked in August 2026 against those listings plus each product's own website and help documentation, which is where features absent from a short store blurb (such as read-aloud) are confirmed either way. If something here is out of date, tell us and we will correct it.
