Installation (one-time, ~30 seconds)

  1. 1

    Unzip the download

  2. 2

    Open the Extensions page

    In Chrome, Edge, or Brave: paste chrome://extensions into the address bar (or open the menu → Extensions → Manage Extensions).
  3. 3

    Turn on Developer mode

    Flip the Developer mode toggle in the top-right of the Extensions page.
  4. 4

    Load the extension

    Click Load unpacked and pick the folder you extracted in step 1. The extension appears in your toolbar.
  5. 5

    Pin it (optional)

    Click the puzzle-piece icon in the toolbar and pin French Level Checkerso it's one click away.

Five ways to use it

  • • Keyboard shortcut — select text and press Alt+Shift+F. With nothing selected, it analyzes the article on the page.
  • • Right-click a selection — or anywhere on the page for the whole-article check.
  • • Popup ↧ Selection / ⎙ Whole page — one-click buttons that read the active tab without copy-pasting.
  • • Save words with one click, listen to fr-FR pronunciation, then export your study list as CSV.
  • • Set your target CEFR level — the extension only flags words above what you already know.
Why isn't it on the Chrome Web Store?

It will be. The Web Store review process takes a few days; until then, “Load unpacked” is the fastest way to try it. The source is in the project's extension/ folder.

Does it send my text anywhere?

The extension sends the selected text to https://french.aatechax.com/api/analyze to score it — same backend as this site. No accounts, no tracking, no storage on our side.
