Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Sori.

Getting Started

Yes! Sori is free to install and use. The free tier gives you 200 words per day and 20 dictionary lookups. If you need more, premium and pro plans are available with higher limits.

No. You can use Sori without an account with a limited daily quota of 50 words and 5 lookups. Creating a free account unlocks higher limits and lets your quota sync across devices.

Sori is currently available on the Chrome Web Store for Google Chrome. Support for other browsers like Firefox, Safari, and Edge is not available yet but may come in the future.

Features & Languages

Sori supports 123 languages, including Spanish, French, Mandarin, Arabic, Hindi, Korean, and many more. The source language is detected automatically, just highlight and go.

Translation mode converts text from one language to another. Dictionary mode gives you definitions for a single word, either in the same language (monolingual) or translated into your target language (bilingual). Dictionary lookups are tracked separately from your word quota.

At Sori, our goal is to reach every person around the globe regardless of language. We're actively working to add more languages and expand our coverage. If yours isn't available yet, feel free to let us know and we'll do our best to prioritize it.

Sori works on virtually any webpage. Just highlight text and the translation popup appears. The only exceptions are Chrome internal pages (like chrome://settings) and the Chrome Web Store, where extensions are blocked by the browser.

Account & Quota

Your word quota and lookup count reset automatically at midnight each day. You can check your remaining quota at any time from the extension popup.

Yes. Sori only processes the text you highlight. It never reads or stores the pages you visit. Your selected text is sent securely to our server for translation and is not saved. Read our privacy policy for full details.

Not yet, but it's coming soon. We're building speech and pronunciation features so you can hear how words are pronounced in your target language.
