<p>Taliri is a Chrome extension that swaps a few words on the pages you already read into the language you're learning. No lessons to open, no streak to protect: the web becomes your textbook.</p><h3>How it works</h3><ul><li><p><strong>Read as usual.</strong> A few words on the page swap into Swedish, German, Hindi, Spanish or French, starting with the most common ones.</p></li><li><p><strong>Hover a word</strong> for its meaning and the sentence you met it in.</p></li><li><p><strong>It checks.</strong> After a few meetings the word comes back masked as a quick four-choice question. Only your answers count, and spaced repetition (FSRS) decides when it returns.</p></li><li><p><strong>Words step back.</strong> Once a word has done its job, it melts back into English with a small puff of sparkles, so the page goes back to plain reading.</p></li><li><p><strong>How to say it.</strong> A learner-friendly respelling sits above the word (vatten is VAT-ten), with optional IPA, for Swedish, German and Hindi.</p></li></ul><h3>Private by design</h3><p>Reading happens on your device. Page text never leaves it, and the extension never sends what you read, page addresses or your browsing history. Once a week the plan check carries your language and a few counts (words met, answers), never the words.</p><h3>Built by one developer and two AI models</h3><p>Ten weeks and 1,100+ commits. Claude designed, specified, built the UI and audited. Codex wrote the backend and logic. Every change was checked by a second model, and every dictionary entry was written by one lab's model and checked by another's.</p><h3>Pricing</h3><p><strong>$7/month or $49/year</strong>, with a 14-day refund. <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc" class="break-all link-break text-gray-500 hover:underline" href="http://taliri.app">taliri.app</a> is a live demo you can try without signing up.</p>
