Bing today introduced its first extension for Safari Browser: Bing Highlights. Bing Highlights brings intelligent, contextually sensitive information to the web pages you’re reading. Using it is easy: just highlight text on a web page. Bing Highlights will recognize interesting information and offer you some smart choices.
For example, you can see above what may happen if you highlight a U.S. formatted address. You can interact with the map in the pane, and get driving directions.
If you highlight some text in a foreign language, you can get translations. You can even hear the text spoken by clicking on the icons. You can also get up-to-date flight status information by highlighting a flight number, says this Bing Community blog post.
Download Bing Highlights from Apple’s Safari Extension Gallery.
It works with Safari 5.0.1 or newer, for both Mac and PC.
