Show HN: Jidoujisho – A mobile video player for Japanese language learners
- lrorpilla 6y agoHey all, this is a pet project of mine that I showed on Reddit about a month ago but I wanted to make some more changes and somehow I forgot to put it on HN! I was really frustrated with all the tools I was using when learning Japanese so I set my mind into making my own. Here is the brief: - Text selection of subtitles allows for quick dictionary lookups within the application - Search current clipboard and open browser to Jisho.org, DeepL or Google Translate - Export cards to AnkiDroid, complete with a snapshot and audio of the current context - Selecting a word allows export to AnkiDroid with the sentence, answer, meaning and reading - Repeat the current subtitle from the beginning by flicking horizontally - Swipe vertically to open the transcript to jump to time and review subtitles - YouTube support for videos with Japanese user-generated subtitles - (Experimental) Custom Japanese-Japanese dictionary support (tested for Shinmeikai) I've also garnered some responses from the debut Reddit thread I made on the r/LearningJapanese subreddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/lcf9wi/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LearnJapanese/comments/lcf9wi/ I try to actively respond to any support and bug reports I get from that thread as well as the project GitHub page. The app is written in Dart and powered by Flutter. Only an Android version for now, but I'm looking to port this app over to iOS if possible but I'm having trouble with the MacBook I'm using and all the platform-specific changes I need to make. Any feedback and suggestions would be much appreciated!
