It can find idioms, phrasal verbs, prepositional verbs. I have a huge database of those. The engine is rule-based. I'm planning a second AI-layer to resolve difficult cases. I also have thoughts about making a public service so anyone can analyze any text (and turn the result into Anki cards or an Excel sheet). It seems there's no such tool on the internet. It's an interesting project, and it's more like a way to spend my free time, but I'm wondering if it can be useful or even profitable. What are your thoughts?

The idea is simple: you paste any text, and the tool finds phrasal verbs and idioms, shows their meanings, and can export them to Anki or Excel.

Some of you might say, “Why not just use ChatGPT?” Let’s assume this tool is faster, more convenient, and more reliable for this specific task.

As far as I can tell, there isn’t a service built specifically for this.

Would you use it? If yes, what for? If not, why not?

Let’s say it doesn’t just highlight them and show definitions, but can also export them to Anki or Excel. You simply paste any text and get the results instantly.

It seems there isn’t a service like this available. I’m wondering whether that’s because phrasal verbs and idioms are genuinely difficult to detect automatically, or because there simply isn’t much demand for such a tool.

I know some of you might say, “Why not just use ChatGPT?” But let’s assume the detection tool is more consistent, more convenient, and faster.

Would you use something like this for your work or personal use?

If not, why not?
