Extension like Language Reactor

Original Canny votes: 34 | Status: Open

It would be very useful to have a LingQ browser extension similar to Language Reactor, allowing users to LingQ/mark known words on YouTube and Netflix subtitles without needing to import them into LingQ first. This would save a lot of time — currently users have to use LingQ side by side, which is cumbersome.

I really like some of the Language Reactor features that allow to shadowing sentence by sentence, and see the vocabulary as well. It would be awesome if we could integrate our vocabulary library with something like this.

Same thing as ReadLang, with a topbar extension.

This may effectively solve many import problems and save a lot of lingQ resources? Many videos are now prohibited from being played externally, and these features may improve many issues. However, it may not be easy to implement this function on the mobile phone?

If the LingQ extension can also work with text (for word look up and lingQ marking) from any website directly on the website it would be great. Similar to this Read Pronunciation extension which can work on Youtube subtitle and text on other sites. Only thing is that it does not display dual sub in youtube.

And if possible an OCR feature that allows us to read comics could be useful too.
