Plugin - Pronounce it!
Find the IPA, pronunciation, and meanings of a word directly within the Firefox browser
## About The Project
With this simple plugin, you can search for the IPA, pronunciation, and meanings of a word. You can also double-click any word to display its lexical information. Additionally, it stores your search results in one place, allowing you to track words that give you trouble.
### Built With
* [Browser extensions - Mozilla | MDN](Firefox-extensions-url)
## Installation
Visit [releases](https://github.com/khshourov/plugin-pronounce-it/releases) and download the file with the .xpi extension from the latest release. Next, type `about:addons` in your Firefox URL bar and click the __*Tools for all add-ons*__ icon (next to the __*Manage Your Extensions*__ label). Then, select __*Install Add-on from File…*__ and choose the downloaded .xpi file. Firefox will prompt you to confirm the installation. Once confirmed, you’re all set. Enjoy the plugin!
## Usage
1. Click the plugin toolbar icon.
2. Click the Google sign-in button.
3. Enter your Google credentials (we will only access your Google ID, name, and email, and we will only store the Google ID to map data to your searches).
4. Click the plugin toolbar icon again and enter your search word.
5. You can also double-click on a word to see the same result.
6. Alternatively, select a word, right-click, and choose the “Pronounce it!” option from the context menu.
7. You can also disable the double-click action for the current page.
## Roadmap
- [ ] Develop it as a cross-browser extension
## Set up development environment
To test the plugin, you have two options:
1. In the Firefox URL bar, type about:debugging, click on “This Firefox,” then select “Load Temporary Add-on…” and choose any file from the plugin directory.
2. Use the web-ext command-line tool, which opens a separate Firefox window for testing. It automatically reloads when file changes occur and can also be used for building and publishing the plugin.
Learn more about these approaches in [about:debugging](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/WebExtensions/Your_first_WebExtension#installing) and [web-ext](https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/getting-started-with-web-ext/).
