Specifically for PC, I cant find any sort of app that does this. I want it to play games in other languages without having to take a picture every 3 seconds. I jokingly asked chatgpt whats needed and it said this:

Creating a program that can translate text detected on the screen in real-time involves several steps. Here's a possible approach:

1. Text Detection: You'll need to use an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to detect text in the screen. There are several libraries available that can do this, such as Tesseract, Google Vision API, or OpenCV.

2. Language Detection: Once you have the text, you'll need to determine the language it's written in. You can use libraries like LangDetect or Google Translate API to do this.

3. Translation: Once you've determined the language, you can use a translation API like Google Translate API, Amazon Translate, or DeepL to translate the text into the desired language.

4. Display: Finally, you'll need to display the translated text on the screen. You can use a simple graphical user interface (GUI) to do this.

5. Real-time processing: To ensure that the program translates the text in real-time, you'll need to optimize the code and choose efficient libraries.

Remember, the accuracy of the translations will depend on the quality of the OCR, language detection, and translation APIs used.

Too bad I cant program or know anything about this. I feel like its a really good idea, and would be profitable even on a donation basis.

Hi everyone!

My husband has been using an app to track the locations of his poops for almost 15 years. He uses it while traveling as a way of documenting where he has been (but only if he genuinely poops there lol). He has pinned over 1,000 places.

However the app has not updated in many years and he is worried the app will one day no longer work. I have some (limited) programming experience so for Christmas I wanted to create a new poop app for him. However, that would involve getting all of his recorded poops off of the app. I tried downloading all stored data from the app during an iPhone backup but it didn’t work because the app developer didn’t make the data available (as far as I can tell). I also tried manually logging each point, but to no one’s surprise, it takes forever. I also have emailed the creator of the app several times but have never gotten a response. I was wondering if anyone had an idea for how to scrape data off of this app?

The app is « Places I’ve Pooped ». I can friend you on the app with his account (which is publicly available) if you’d like to take a look. I’d like to get the date and time of the pin, the coordinates, and the notes (if there are any).

Thank you in advance for your advice!

Mods have been quiet, to say the least. I just wanted to keep everyone up to date as to what's going on with the sub, what to expect, and where we're trying to go from here.

u/Kashak12 is still the reigning supreme leader, u/Bloody_Spork is inactive and will more than likely remain that way, and I will be doing my best to moderate this sub the best I can. I have little to no knowledge of how to moderate a sub, but I'm doing my best. I hope that my attempts in fostering a helpful, fun, and safe environment for coders, as well as requestors alike find their mark. I will do my best to avoid burning anyone in the process.

A quick side note; if you're replying to a request with a solution, please don't use a URL shortener. It is too easy to hide malicious links. With that in mind, any posts from here on out containing a shortened link will be swiftly removed.

As far as where the sub is headed, I would love for this sub to become the go to place for anyone who just needs some quick help with something. That, however, is moreso dependant on the users. If, throughout your travels on Reddit you find a poor soul in need of some quick help, send them our way. There are (at the time of this post), 830 subscribers to this sub. More than enough talent amongst us all to accomplish most things (just don't ask us to screw in a lightbulb).

To bring the rambling to a close, I'd like to end with a thank you. Thank you to all of those that have helped those in need, and thank you to those that took the time to share your challenges to those knights in shining armor who took the time out of their day to help.

I hope everyone has had, and continues to have, a great 2019.

My name is Robert, I am a senior resident at a small community hospital in the middle of the COVID19 crisis. I have a simple request for you (hopefully).

I need help developing a simple application to assist in the planning and scheduling of residents throughout our hospital system. We have ~50 residents assigned to various duties throughout the hospital, due to the crisis we are shutting down large portions of our program and send a portion of the residents home to serve as labor pool against presumed resident shortages (we are assuming as this crisis develops that several of our residents will fall ill from COVID19). I need an application which can track what duties these residents are performing, have performed in the past and if they are fit to report to duty as needs develop. The information I need to track is below but may change due to needs. This application just needs to be a simple front end and database where i can log what rotations a resident has performed, if this resident is on some kind of restriction (quarantined due to exposure , if they have symptoms, if a COVI19 test is pending for them or if they are cleared) and generate simple reports of the above info. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated, however we have zero resources to allocate so I cannot buy an existing software or license, nor will i be able to reimburse any one's time

Essential information:

Resident Name (first and last)

Resident Year (PGY1, PGY2 or PGY3) ---this is important as PGY2 and PGY3 are considered senior residents and have to supervise PGY1's, also PGY just stands for post graduate year

Phone number

Current duty (Floor, ICU, COVID day, ICU night, COVID night and several essential rotations such as cardiology, nephrology, ect. or Home awaiting assignment)

Current duty dates (example: Resident 1 is on Floors from march 23rd to March 17th)

Previous assignment( Example: Resident 1 is was assigned to the covid 19 ward from march 23-17, this is needed because they will need to be quarantined for some period of time)

Symptoms (example: Resident 1 is reporting that they have a fever or symptoms which prevent they from coming in)

COVID 19 test result (Not Tested, Pending, negative or positive)

Quarantined until date

Date of symptoms

Date of COVID 19 testing

I have some IT background as i worked as a Microsoft consultant for several years primarily working in SQL and C# and i can pull simple reports based on the above info directly from SQL. I just do not have the time to write the front end, but i can modify and change the backend database if needs change and can make simple front end changes.

I will be available to speak to anyone who has time to help on Saturday or Sunday just PM me and i will get back with you ASAP.

Tl;dr: I work at a library and we run a daily report to know which books to pull off shelves; how can I sort this report better, which is a long text file?

----

I work at a library. The library uses a software called "SirsiDynix Symphony WorkFlows" for their book tracking, cataloguing, and circulation as well as patron check-outs and returns. Every morning, we run a report from the software that tells us which books have been put on hold by patrons the previous day and we then go around the library, physically pulling those books off the shelf to process and put on the hold shelf for patrons to pick up.

The process of fetching these books can take a very long time due to differences between how the report items are ordered and how the library collection is physically laid out in the building. The report sorts the books according to categories that are different than how they are on the shelves, resulting in a lot of back and forth running around and just a generally inefficient process. The software does not allow any adjustment of settings or parameters or sorting actions before the report is produced.

I am looking for a way to optimize this process by having the ability to sort the report in a better way. The trouble is that the software *only* lets us produce the report in text format, not spreadsheet format, and so I cannot sort it by section or genre, for example. There is no way in the software to customize the report output in any useful way. Essentially, I am hoping to reduce as much manual work as possible by finding a solution that will allow me to sort the report in some kind of software, or convert this text report into a spreadsheet with proper separation that I can then sort, or some other solution. Hopefully the solution is elegant and simple so that the less techy people here can easily use it and I won't have to face corporate resistance in implementing it. I am envisioning loading the report text file into some kind of bat file or something that spits it out nicely sorted. The report also requires some manual "clean up" that takes a bit of time that I would love to automate.

Below I will go into further details.

General

• The software (SirsiDynix Symphony WorkFlows) generates a multi-page report in plain text format (the software does have an option to set it to produce a spreadsheet file but it does not work. IT's answer is that yes, this software is stupid, and that they have been waiting for the new software from headquarters to be implemented for 5 years already)

• The report is opened in LibreOffice Writer to be cleaned up (no MS Office is available on the desktops). I have tried pasting it into librecalc (spreadsheet software) and playing around with how to have the text divided into the cells by separators but was not able to get it to work.

• ‎The report is a list of multi-line entries, one entry per book. The entry lists things like item title, item ID (numerical), category, sub-category, type, etc. Some of these are on their own line, some of them share a line. Here is one entry from the report (for one book) as an example:

• CON Connolly, John, 1968- The book of lost things / John Connolly copy:1 item ID:################ type:BOOK location:FICTION Pickup library:"LIBRARY LOCATION CODE" Date of discharge:MM/DD/YYYY

• The report is printed off and stapled, then given to a staff member to begin the book fetching task

File Clean-Up

• The report contains repeating multi-line headings (report title, date, etc) that repeat throughout the document approximately every 7 entries, and must be removed except for the very first one, because they will sometimes be inserted in the middle of an entry, cutting it into two pieces (I have taught my colleagues how to speed up this process somewhat using find and replace, but it is still not ideal. That's the extent of the optimization I have been able to bring in thus far)

• Because of taking an unpaginated text file into a paginated word doc, essentially, some entries end up being partially bumped over to the next page, e.g. their first half is on page 1 and their second half is on page 2. This is also manually fixed using line breaks so that no entries are broken up.

• Some entries are manually deleted if we know that a different department is going to be taking care of fetching those (eg. any young adult novels)

Physical Book Fetching

• The library's fiction section has books that are labelled as general fiction and also books that are labelled with sub-categories such as "Fiction - Mystery", "Fiction - Romance" and "Fiction - SciFi". The report sorts these by category and then by author. That would be fine except that all of the fiction books are placed on the shelves all together in the fiction section, sorted by author. There is no separate physical mystery fiction section or romance fiction session. That means that a staff member goes through the shelves from A - Z, pulling off the books for general fiction, then having to go back to A again to pull the mystery books from the same section from A - Z, and back again for romance, etc etc. It would be wonderful if we could just sort by author and ignore the genre subcategories so that we could pull all of the books in one sweep. The more adept staff do look further through the report to try and pull all the books they can while they are physically at that shelf, but flipping through a multi-page report is still manual work that takes time and requires familiarity with the system that newer staff do not typically possess.

• The library's layout is not the same as the order of the report. The report might show entries in the order "Kids section - Adult non-fiction - Young Adult fiction - Adult DVD's" - but these sections are not physically near each other in the library. That means a staff member is either going back and forth in the library if they were to follow the report, or they skip over parts of the report in order to go through the library in a more physically optimized manner, in the order that sections are physically arranged. The former requires more time and energy, and the latter requires familiarity with the library's layout, which newer staff do not yet possess, making training longer. It would be amazing if we could order the report in accordance to the layout of the library, so that a person simply needs to start at one end of the building and finish at the other.

Here is a link to an actual report (I have removed some details for privacy purposes). I have shortened it considerably while keeping the features that I have described above such as the interrupting headings and the section divisions.

We have no direct access to the database and there is no public API.

Our library does as much as possible to help out the community and make services and materials as accessible as possible, such as making memberships totally free of charge and removing late fines, so I am hoping someone is able to help us out! :)

Hey, unfortunately I am totally clumsy when it comes to programming. I have the idea to have a python program to which I send a soundcloud link from a set(Which consists of many different songs) . This set should be divided into many individual parts, which are then recognized via Shazam individually. Subsequently, all recognized tracks should be listed in one big list.

I have already managed the individual steps myself. But I can't put the whole thing together as one program.

So far, my approach looked like this:

• grab the url off the soundcloud set

ie. https://soundcloud.com/urem/urem-am-bach-festival-2021

• use youtube-dlp to download

$ youtube-dlp https://soundcloud.com/urem/urem-am-bach-festival-2021

• split the track in 60 or 120 second blocks useing ffmpeg

$ ffmpeg -i somefile.mp3 -f segment -segment_time 60 -c copy out%03d.mp3

• use the reverse engineered Shazam API ShazamIO to detect the song name of an indivitual chunk

python code I used to try if this could work:

import asyncio
from shazamio import Shazam


async def main():
  shazam = Shazam()
  out = await shazam.recognize_song('out01.mp3')
  print(out)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())

the result has all the data I need:

{'matches': [{'id': '440760221', 'offset': 288.3199375, 'timeskew': -0.0012712479, 'frequencyskew': -8.0525875e-05}], 'location': {'accuracy': 0.01}, 'timestamp': 1655733838616, 'timezone': 'Europe/Moscow', 'track': {'layout': '5', 'type': 'MUSIC', 'key': '440760221', 'title': 'Homoom (El Mundo & Zazou Remix)', 'subtitle': 'Wisqo

the title name and intepret is all I need.

If anyone has the time and desire to help me with this particular project, I would be insanely grateful.

I want to practice human benchmark visual memory (https://humanbenchmark.com/tests/memory), but starting around level 13 or so. It'd be so much easier to practice if I could just drill the harder levels without having to tediously go through the earlier ones. Any ideas?

I have contacted them without response, so I'm asking around

Hello. I'm trying to pull data from a local hockey league so I can run my own statistics and share with the team. I've mucked around with trying to build a tool myself (Python, Selenium, Mac M1), but ultimately I'm out of my element.

The website is here: http://www.hockeylinea.fmp.es/league/4169, and the data I really want is the individual game data from the group "Liga Senior 3 Grupo A". You'll see that to access the data, you'll need to select the group from the website above, then click the magnifying glass for each game, which is obviously burdensome and why I'm looking for an automated solution. I'd be thrilled if I could just pull the data weekly into an excel sheet for easy manipulation.

Thanks to anyone with any thoughts!

I'm interested to find out, for each natural number (particularly just 1-100), the way or ways to represent the number with just the number 1, addition, multiplication, and parentheses, using the fewest number of 1s.

As an example, I can do several short ones by hand:

4 = (1+1)×(1+1), or 1+1+1+1
6 = (1+1+1)×(1+1)

This should be similar to the Countdown numbers game, of which there are many solvers out there, but I can't find an existing solver that will A) let me enter more than 6 starting numbers (every starting number in this case would be 1), B) let me constrain the operations to just + and ×, and C) output the guaranteed shortest answer. There are solvers that tick some of those requirements, but I can't find one that will do all three.

It might be easier to output the result in postfix notation:

4 = 1 1 1 1 + + +
6 = 1 1 1 + + 1 1 + ×

(These are the kind of questions I have that make me wish I could program, but every time I try to start learning, the whole thing seems so huge and daunting, like I need to have so much back-knowledge before I can even start to craft something I really want to make.)

Is it possible to get a small program to run on my mic and just give a computer alert when im loud so im not being a shitty neighbor at night?? Windows 8? If someone wrote me a script i could script kiddie it maybe.

I am retrieving the current sun position (azimuth and altitude) from suncalc.js. I would like to create a 3d visualization like this using html, css and JavaScript if possible. Genuine thanks in advance!

Would also work to get a list of the top 20 but screenshots would be preferred

Like the title said, I wish to not view how many followers I have, how many likes I've gotten on stories or posts or reels, how many viewers I got on a story I posted or a reel.
It must be clear I dislike numbers and metrics count, so I would like to not be able to view none of it.

Hi y'all! Long story short, my grandmother is a numerologist and coded her own program for making personal number calendars back in the '80s using MS BASIC. She's looking for someone to streamline the coding (which by now is probably a bit of a garbled mess) and, if possible, adapt it to macOS. I realize this is kind of an insane request because BASIC is essentially the Latin of the coding world, but I'm hoping there are some hobbyists or folks out there still working with legacy systems who can help.

The other, more realistic scenario is to find someone to work with her to create an entirely new program. I'm not sure what the best option is here, so any input would be greatly appreciated!

Many of you know already, but many subs are going dark in protest of Reddits recently planned API changes. These changes will effectively ban third-party clients like Apollo and RIF. The CEO of Reddit has also been caught in several lies, including lies involving threats made by the developer of Apollo.

For this reason, r/ProgrammingRequests will be going dark. This change may be indefinite. Future mod posts will let you know where we plan to go from here. Good luck, live long, and prosper.

I want to replicate the Mac feature where it makes the cursor size temporarily larger if you rapidly wiggle the mouse. I know Windows has a setting that circles the cursor when you press CTRL, but that’s not what I’m wanting. I’ve looked online and there’s an application called BigMouse, but it doesn’t work very well. I have zero programming knowledge so I don’t have the tools to do this myself, but it seems like the kind of thing that would be easy to an expert. Does anyone know of a better downloadable for this, or anyone interested in taking on this challenge for fun?

toyhouse is a website where you can upload all of your original characters. it's cool. you can use html very similar to a tumblr blog on each individual character's little page, and i'm trying to figure out a coding problem on one of these pages.

pictures are imgur links so i could include them in the text post, because i have some other links that will be needed to see everything, i think.

so, here's a screenshot of the textboxes: https://imgur.com/a/opghZTc. i'd really like the "relationships" box to be on the same horizontal 'line' as the "trivia" box. i did the math on the widths and heights so that it'll fit perfectly, but for some reason, it won't squish.

here's a pastebin of my current code: https://controlc.com/2bf433d4. everything's labeled very clearly, so hopefully you can navigate okay and tell me what to do lol. i'm completely clueless.

this might help, and you probably noticed it from the top of the pastebin, so i'm gonna go ahead and include it: my code is an edit of a free-to-use code, that can be found here: https://toyhou.se/6163326.-f2u-strawberry-milk/6163335.code-dark. you can see that code in action here: https://toyhou.se/6163326.-f2u-strawberry-milk. as you can see, i removed a few of the picture areas and tried to format the textboxes around it. obviously, i don't know what i'm doing, but i feel like this may be affecting why the two boxes won't go on the same line.

thanks so much in advance. i'm getting so frustrated with it that i'm just posting this and going to bed lol. been working at it for over 90 minutes now and nothing i've done has worked, nothing i've googled has done anything, so i'm hoping people that know what they're doing can come save my ass.

thanks so much in advance for helping. i really, really appreciate it.

EDIT: i posted on another forum and got an answer there! if anyone needs a solution to a similar problem, see here - https://toyhou.se/~forums/16.htmlcss-graphics/309374.html-coding-issue-scrollboxes-won-t-line-up?page=1#post-4764132

I have 5k Liked Videos on youtube. I need a code that would take attributes of a Video :

Title, Link, Thumbnail (if possible), and Audio would be a dream.

and feed it into some form of storage like a MySQL database or an excel sheet.

Create an app that allows you to speak a phrase/chant to set it in any language. (set mode) Then after that when you're in run-mode, if you say the same phrase again, it'll keep a count. So if you say it the chant/phrase again 3 times it'll count 3 times and so on. There are a lot of audio players that play Buddhist chants for people to listen to. But no app to count how many times a chant/phrase has been said/chanted. Master Tinh Khong says that's there's a technique he'd like to teach people that when you feel like chanting chant, when you don't feel like chanting, chant. So this app would have great use for those that are goal driven like 1000 chants/a day or whatever increase over time. (sort of like step counters for fitness) but chant counter.

For a while I've been using this extension which does exactly this, but recently it hasn't been working 100% of the time and was last updated almost a year ago. I can't find any working alternatives either. I just need someone to create an updated version of this, either through an extension or userscript.

Bonus points if you can also make it show me the total amount of users I've blocked. I know Blolook is a thing, though I've recently used Megablock and Blolook doesn't seem to have detected the blocks performed by Megablock...for some reason.
