A medical English Chrome extension is out

The Medical English Vocabulary app now runs in the browser too. It is the same product ported to Chrome: the same clinical word base, the same flashcards with examples from practice, and the same spaced repetition algorithm.

Here is the page: medical English for Chrome.

Why this is easier on a work computer

The extension opens in the Chrome side panel — the column beside the tab you are working in. Its proportions are close to a phone screen, so the interface stayed as it was: a card with an English definition, a translation into your language, transcription, audio, a picture and three example sentences from real clinical situations.

A phone is not something you can take out everywhere on shift, but the browser is already open — at the nurses' station, in a teaching room, at home while preparing for an exam. A review takes a few minutes and does not require switching devices.

Everything is unlocked

In the mobile version some features belong to Premium. The extension has no paid features at all:

  • No daily limit — open as many new terms as you are ready to review;
  • The whole clinical vocabulary — anatomy, symptoms, diagnoses, procedures, talking to patients and everyday teamwork English;
  • No ads and no sign-up — no banners, no account, no email address.

Installing and using the extension is free: there is no subscription in it.

One thing to know upfront

Progress does not sync with your phone. The extension keeps its own review history, and it does not travel to the app or back. If you already learn terms on mobile, you start fresh in the browser.

The reason is the same as in the main app: onemoreword has no accounts, and without an account there is nothing to tie progress to. We decided that skipping sign-up matters more than syncing.

Who it is for

  • Nurses preparing for NCLEX or OET;
  • Doctors preparing for USMLE, PLAB or OET;
  • Students on medical and nursing programmes — revising terms on the same screen as their notes;
  • Anyone relocating to work in an English-speaking country;
  • Anyone who knows medicine but freezes when the same thing has to be said in English.

How to install it

The extension installs from the Chrome Web Store in one click — the install button is on the extension page. It works in Chrome and in other Chromium-based browsers: Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Arc.

If you need general rather than clinical vocabulary, the main app has its own Chrome extension.

Important

This extension is not a medical resource. The content is for learning medical English only and must not be used for medical education, diagnosis or treatment. It is an independent study tool: it is not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by the owners of the OET, NCLEX, USMLE, PLAB or IELTS examinations, and it is not connected with the NHS.

The same as in the mobile app: core clinical vocabulary, symptoms and history taking, diagnosis, treatment and procedures, anatomy and the basics of pharmacology, the ward, the theatre and intensive care, and everyday teamwork English.

It covers one part of your preparation — the vocabulary that has to come back automatically by exam day. It is not a course, it does not replace exam preparation, and it is not affiliated with the owners of those examinations.
