I could see there being use for something similar to this targeted towards children for expanding their vocabulary.

Similarly, how neat would it be to have a program that does this for object in video, and testing the viewer on the name of the object? Perhaps to avoid error as a result of imperfections in the neural net, it would require 2 parties, the learners and the teachers. The teachers would go through a video ahead of time with the video, making sure there are no errors, then that session would be saved and the teacher could play it back for the learners.

@ language learning: I wish there was a way to watch movies in various vocabulary difficulty levels. Would be awesome for learning. Makes me wonder whether there are fan-dubs with different wordings.

Kindle has this in eBooks, for English and Chinese. There's 3 or 4 difficulty levels. I'm just hoping they'll add more languages. (Or that there will be a free software solution...)

Kind of like Deep Dream, but for text?
