Used on a recent trip to Japan. Some suggestions.
I appreciate you creating this app. I came to it because I had a similar business idea. I did a Google search for stuff that exists like my vision and I found this app.
So on this recent trip to Japan, I was on a train. I would look out the window and listen to the narration. I found some very interesting things. I'm less interested in the Wikipedia article for the XYZ train station in whatever prefecture. Or, that prefecture XYZ was created in 1973 by merging two adjacent prefectures or that it has 123,753 people. Like most, I'm more interested in obscure trivia like XYZ, the samurai who fought a giant salamander in 1697 lived here.
I'm not in the position to create the app I envisioned, so I will put down a few points here:
Ability to quickly skip around the article. You do have the ability to skip to the next paragraph, etc. It seems that the outline of a Wikipedia article could be extracted and then presented so that you could skip to interesting things.
AI trained in identifying trivia would be interesting.
Provide a little bit of data for the AI, maybe with up/down thumbs, allowing artificial intelligence to start identifying things that interest individual users and use as training data.
If it could be wrapped up as an app, that would be pretty fantastic. I found myself having to tap the screen because, as far as I know, it was the only way I could keep narrating without my phone going into sleep mode and disabling narration.
Present related articles for context.
I know this is a labor of love. These are suggestions, and I appreciate the hard work that went into creating this in the first place. Thank you.
Thanks! These are great ideas. I'm not actively working on this project right now, but would definitely consider adding the features. I definitely like displaying the wikipedia outline!
