Termy
Learn languages from games, videos, and websites
What it does
Termy turns the games, videos, and websites you love into language practice. Press one shortcut and it finds the difficult words on your screen, explains them in context, and saves them with the exact moment you discovered them—without breaking your flow. Later, those moments become adaptive exercises built around your vocabulary. Works on Windows and macOS in 30 languages. Free to start.
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

Hi HN, For over two years I've been working on an App to learn languages (currently French, Italian and Spanish), together with my partner, a language teacher. I think it is finally ready to share with this community! The idea is to introduce vocabulary and grammar whilst you read eBooks in your own language. I've found that it is easier to remember vocabulary 'in context' and with regular repetition. Plus you don't have to carve out dedicated time for language learning. Other apps require you to build a habit around various exercises or ‘games’, whereas lots of people already read books.…

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…

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…

I trained a 125M-parameter transformer to autocomplete piano performances in real time (~108 notes/sec on an iPhone 15). The idea is basically GitHub Copilot or Tabnine, except instead of prompting it with code, you prompt it by playing a few notes on a MIDI piano. The model then continues what you played, entirely on-device. The app is free if anyone wants to try it. Happy to answer questions about the model, training, Core ML, or the many things that didn't work.
