JIVX lets users paste a link to a Japanese-language YouTube video and converts its spoken lines into practice sentences that learners can type or speak aloud, with each attempt graded for accuracy. Users can also choose from videos already added to the platform by others rather than submitting their own.
A new Show HN project called HackerTV streams a continuous, synchronized broadcast of YouTube videos that have been frequently recommended in Hacker News comments, so every viewer sees the same program at the same time. The catalog is seeded from the HackerTube dataset and refreshed weekly using the HN Search API, with Claude used to label and filter entries, though video durations are estimates until YouTube metadata loads.
Google has expanded Gemini in Chrome so it can process video and audio content from websites outside YouTube, letting users get key takeaways and ask questions about that media.
