Learn languages from games, videos, websites, and other screen content with Termy
Termy explains tricky words on your screen and helps you practice them. Press one shortcut anywhere text appears on your desktop. Termy explains the meaning in context and saves it for practice. The HOA notice feels opaque : it says the assessment may be deferred, but never explains who qualifies. They usually mean payment can be delayed, not waived. Ask the board for the criteria in writing. The on-screen explanation stays brief so you can keep going. In Vocabulary, return to the original sentence, screenshot, and deeper details. Termy turns saved words and phrases into adaptive exercises: context questions, fill-in-the-blank prompts, typing, listening, screenshot recall, and reviews timed…from termy.ai

WordyFeb 2026 · wordy.info · ▲231Hey HN, I'm Sándor. I built Wordy because I kept pausing Netflix to look up words in a dictionary. So I made a subtitle tool for myself, and it kind of snowballed from there. What it does: You watch short clips from real movies and TV shows, then get quizzed on the vocabulary you just heard. The app tracks every word automatically and adapts to your level. 20+ languages. How it evolved: Started as an iOS app for interactive streaming subtitles. Then I added curated video clips with quizzes. Then vocabulary tracking, spaced repetition, and personalized learning paths. Now it's iOS + Android +…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
