I've been working on a project called Lexicart, and I'm getting to the point where I'd like to start gathering feedback from people outside my own development process. The idea is simple: what if you could play games in another language and have a language-learning companion running alongside the game? Lexicart is a companion application that runs alongside emulated games. It can detect the text appearing in a game and display a real-time translation overlay. It also opens a separate window showing the original text, pronunciation, and translation. From there, you can: Select individual words to get definitions and additional information. Save unfamiliar words to your personal vocabulary dictionary. Review collected words using flashcards. Play quizzes to reinforce what you've learned. I've primarily been developing this for Chinese language learning, and currently have it working with games like Animal Crossing and Pokémon Emerald. The Windows version is working quite well. I'm also exploring Android support, particularly for handhelds like the AYN Thor, although that presents some additional technical challenges. I'm a solo developer, so I'm trying to be smart about what I prioritize before releasing this commercially. I'd particularly love feedback on: Would you actually use something like this? Which features would be most important to you? Would you prefer broader language support or compatibility with more games? Would you be interested in paying for an application like this? What would make you choose this over existing translation or language-learning tools? I'm not looking for people to tell me it's a great idea just to be nice. I'd genuinely appreciate criticism, suggestions, and ideas about what would make this useful. Thanks!   submitted by   /u/Airborne_0 [link]   [comments]
