[09:04:40] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> I had an idea and made this the last couple of hours. WDYT?
[09:04:41] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> It could easily be rewritten as an API and used by every single mediaplayer in the world to help language learners click on a subtitle and open a website with the sentence as clickable lexemes with senses, pictures etc.
[09:04:43] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> https://github.com/dpriskorn/LexSrt
[09:06:35] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> Unfortunately however many lexemes (in english and other languages) still lack senses as is visible in this table based on english subtitles from Ice Age with words longer than 9 characters only. : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/2a83e347/file_52195.jpg
[09:33:02] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> @Nightrose This might become the breakthough API that could result in thousands of people discovering the lexemes (through their media player of choice)
[09:33:02] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> If we partner up with Google and get it supported in the Youtube subtitles also we are potentially able to help millions of language learners.
[09:33:04] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> For this to become a reality we probably need stability and organizational backing/API-policy.
[09:34:07] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> The link gives me a 404. Is the repo private? (re @dpriskorn: I had an idea and made this the last couple of hours. WDYT?
[09:34:08] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> It could easily be rewritten as an API and used by every single medi...)
[09:36:19] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> I think it's a cool idea. I also fear that Google or any other big-tech company fwiw wouldn't use it because they rather bet on automated translation than teaching people other languages.
[09:36:32] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> That being said I think there are other areas where it can be cool to have.
[09:38:20] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> fixed (re @Nightrose: The link gives me a 404. Is the repo private?)
[09:38:29] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> Thanks!
[09:38:40] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> Now I can access it
[09:39:05] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> VideoLan with VLC might be a good target
[09:39:23] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> Since it's scriptable it might even be "easy" to add
[09:39:38] <wm-bb>	 <Nightrose> and it has enourmous reach
[11:27:02] <wm-bb>	 <dpriskorn> mpv is also scriptable and a big hacker friendly community. no idea if one can access the currently displayed subtitles though
