#2Thanks for sharing!
This is generally a good way to immerse yourself in a language with content that actually interests you - now you don't have to maintain a separate window/notes/etc.
I really like the idea, and it looks well executed.

#3I could see there being use for something similar to this targeted towards children for expanding their vocabulary.
Similarly, how neat would it be to have a program that does this for object in video, and testing the viewer on the name of the object? Perhaps to avoid error as a result of imperfections in the neural net, it would require 2 parties, the learners and the teachers. The teachers would go through a video ahead of time with the video, making sure there are no errors, then that session would be saved and the teacher could play it back for the learners.

@ language learning: I wish there was a way to watch movies in various vocabulary difficulty levels. Would be awesome for learning. Makes me wonder whether there are fan-dubs with different wordings.

#7It would be cool (but super niche) to have a "wait, what was that" button in Netflix. Skip back 10s, enable subs. Would be great when you're trying not to use the subtitles, but sometimes get a bit outpaced.
Edit: maybe not so niche! Someone build a WebExtension!

I had those moments while watching “Snatch” as non-native speaker :)

The extension also translates words and texts on any web page by double clicking or highlighting with the mouse. There‘s no way to do that without that permission.

Wow, that‘s a really nice idea! I‘ve never thought of it this way but now I understand it happens to me quite often actually!
