Partial A browser extension that overlays subtitles on YouTube and Netflix is buildable, but the Emoji Language Script is a proprietary visual vocabulary that requires a large, carefully designed and pedagogically tested mapping from English words to icons.
What it would actually take: Build a browser extension that reads the native subtitle DOM, tokenizes English, and overlays icons from a lookup table. The hard part is the ELS itself: a curated and pedagogically validated mapping of thousands of words or phrases to ideograms, which needs linguistics and language-learning expertise plus user testing to show it actually improves comprehension.
