About Chacha

Why we built Chacha

Most dictionary sites bury the answer under ads, login walls, and recommendation feeds. Chacha does one thing — you look up a word, it gives you that word.

Translation in this first version comes from the MyMemory open API, word details from a hand-picked local dictionary, and pronunciation from the browser's built-in Web Speech API. No API key, no cloud account; a future Pro tier may add longer sentences and a cloud word list.

Privacy

Chacha collects no account information. Search history and your word list are written only to the browser's localStorage; translation requests are sent anonymously to MyMemory. To wipe everything, open the History drawer and tap Clear.
