Select any word, sentence, or paragraph below—or something you want to understand on another webpage. InterStand appears beside your selection and helps you understand it in context.
Start here: drag to select a word or sentence.
What feels obvious may be δόξα wearing the costume of ἐπιστήμη. The mind often trusts φαντασία before it pauses to test a first impression against evidence. Prima facie, certainty can look remarkably like knowledge.
You can select the practice text above now—no refresh is needed on this tutorial page.
Set up the toolbar your way
Each button in the floating toolbar has a different purpose: understand content, learn a language, ask your own question, polish writing, or summarize key points. In the InterStand extension's Settings, you can add or remove buttons; the toolbar displays up to four.
Using a page that was already open?
Click InterStand in the browser toolbar once. It will activate that page without refreshing whenever the browser allows it.
If InterStand was just updated or reloaded
An older page can keep a stale Extension context. If InterStand still does not appear, refresh that page once and select the text again.
Keep the InterStand side panel open while you practice. You can replay this tutorial from How to use at any time.
