Interactive Chinese on normal webpages
A Chinese popup dictionary that also remembers your words
Rolko makes normal Chinese webpage text interactive in a supported desktop browser. Hover a word to see pinyin and meaning, then save useful vocabulary into the same system you use for reading and spaced-repetition review. It works with selectable webpage text—not text baked into images, screenshots, or video pixels.
Start for free
Works in Safari, Firefox, and mobile browsers. No extension required.
Interactive product proof
Try the real webpage lookup interaction
This demo reuses Rolko’s page-text hover and word panel components so the lookup and save behavior matches the browser extension.

成都小吃真的太好吃了！
成都的街头巷尾藏着无数美食，每一口都让人回味无穷。从热辣辣的火锅到香脆的串串，这座城市就是吃货的天堂。昨天我们一行人专程去了宽窄巷子，那里的小吃摊一家接一家，香味扑鼻而来，完全不知道从哪里开始吃。我们先点了一份麻辣串串，辣得过瘾又停不下来，接着又喝了一碗热腾腾的豆花，甜辣交替，层次丰富得让人惊喜。成都人对饮食的用心真的让外地人叹为观止，难怪大家都说来了成都就不想离开了。

Common questions
What to know before you start
Can I hover over Chinese characters on any website?
Rolko is designed for normal selectable Chinese webpage text in a supported desktop browser. Some protected, canvas-based, image-based, or unusually structured pages may not expose usable text.
Does the popup show pinyin and English meaning?
Yes. For supported Chinese text, Rolko’s word panel shows pinyin and an English meaning and lets you save the word.
Can I save words from Xiaohongshu or Weibo?
You can use the extension when a supported webpage exposes normal selectable Chinese text. Rolko does not claim compatibility with every page state or mobile app.
Does Rolko perform OCR on images?
No. The popup dictionary works with real webpage text. Chinese text inside an image or video frame requires OCR and is not currently supported.
Where do saved words go?
After sign-in, saved words can sync to the Rolko web app, where you can track vocabulary and review it with spaced repetition.
