This project was created by me to scratch my own itch.I love to watch movies and am always keen to expand my vocabulary.But it's difficult to notice an unknown wordduring a movie without spoiling the experience.That's wheresubvoc comes in: search for a movie and discover its vocabulary.

Visithttps://subvoc.stephanbehnke.com (hosted on Heroku, takes a few moments to start sometimes).

NOTE: The external API can be flaky - you canvisit a cached analysis in this case.

To get a quick impression, here are some screenshots:

When you select a movie, theOpenSubtitles API is queried for its subtitles. Then, the result is parsed, tokenized and analyzed sentence by sentence, word by word with the help of thePython Natural Language Toolkit. The difficulty of a word is determined by its relative frequency in the English language, assuming that more difficult words are simply used less.
