Hyperwords is just about the most useful add-on to Firefox that I have seen in quite a while. Most of the utilities that I have added over the past four years have either silently incorporated themselves into the browser’s basic function, or have been removed.
Hyperwords is an active add-on. I translate, shop, 
instantly search, send to email, twitter, facebook, etc. It will check the spelling, tell me how to pronounce something and, as if it didn’t do enough, convert currency.
What made me want to highlight it on Belltowernews.com was a conversation I had with an expatriate now living in Sweden. He drifts back and forth from English to Swedish on Facebook. On a whim, I used Hyperwords to see what he was saying. It worked.
So, I wrote something in English, used Hyperwords to translate it and sent him the Wall-to-wall in Swedish. Bam! He was sold. I use the word sold figuratively because the add-on is free.
