Middle English Mouse Dictionary

The Middle English Mouse Dictionary is a prototype browser extension for Firefox that assists in reading middle english web pages by showing dictionary information about middle english words when they are highlighted or double-clicked. It tracks which words you add to your personal word list for each tab, and displays them in a sidebar, which can be opened from the right-click context menu.

Install the extension here.

Roadmap

At present this is a prototype, written in pure JS to be as simple as possible. In time we intend to:

  • Add additional dictionaries.
  • Implement fuzzy matching to combat orthographic complexity
  • Improve the UI and UX
  • Adapt for Chrome/Safari and Manifest V3
  • Move over to a framework if we deem it suitable
  • Get funding and/or support from institutions
