gsoc project brainstorming

[Jonathan Hung]

Here are some additional ideas:

1. Storyboarder
Create a transcript of a video with both visuals and captions. This way you
can visually read what a video is communicating without having to play the
video. This is useful for users who have attention needs, students doing
learning review, or users who can not or prefer not to play video (i.e.
noisy environment, slow system, or poor internet connection).

2. Keyword Highlighter
Scan a document and emphasize key words. This way a user can quickly scan a
document and get an impression of the contents without having to read
deeply. Optionally, key words can link to additional content (i.e.
definitions, wiki articles, etc.).

3. Personal Push Pins
A user can drop a push pin at any location on a page and return to that
location later. This is different from a bookmark which only saves a
resource location, a push pin would save a location within the content
itself. Possibly, pins can be dropped on temporal media (i.e. video), so
that jumping to that pin will also advance the video to that specified
time. This is useful for saving progress and as a learning and memory aid.
