LanguageLector

Inspiration

My own experience trying to learn Japanese through reading mangas made me start this project.

What it does

LanguageLector extracts that you sign with the cursor, and offers the access to words and characters that are selected

How I built it

Are used pure javascript, basics with css, Tesseract Api for text recognition, a dictionary API to search certain words and the core is the browser's API that gives sufficient possibilities to make firefox the best friend.

Challenges I ran into

I must :

• learnt how to make a basic UI design, despite I am not deisgner
• interiorize the object managemente
• applied more deeply asyncrony, and promise handling
• recursivity

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

This extension could make more agile the process of learning, based on my experience, that is the main goal the vale the process I walk through.

What I learned

I have developed a more understandable coding with javascripts.

What's next for LanguageLector

I want to improve this application, making it more powerful, accesible and extendable.
