ownDictionary is a free Chrome extension developed by Ankit Raj. It falls under the category of Browsers and belongs to the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. As the name suggests, ownDictionary is designed to help users store and remember the meaning of new words encountered in any text.

With ownDictionary, there is no need to write down words and their meanings in notes. Instead, users can simply select the word and save it to their own dictionary. The process is straightforward - just select the word and open the extension. Then, click on the save button to store the meaning of the selected word.

One of the standout features of ownDictionary is that it provides a detailed explanation of the word saved. This can be incredibly useful for users looking to expand their vocabulary or improve their understanding of unfamiliar terms. Additionally, the selected word is conveniently underlined after it is saved, making it easy to identify within the text.

ownDictionary also automatically creates a list of all the selected words, allowing users to review and access their saved words with their meanings at any time. However, it is important to note that the extension does not work for more than one word at a time. Words with punctuation marks appended to them will also not be registered by the extension.

Overall, ownDictionary is a useful tool for anyone looking to build their own word dictionary and enhance their language skills. Its simplicity and functionality make it a valuable addition to Chrome for those who frequently come across new words in their reading or writing activities.
