(Potential Extension) Have bot identify when a transcribed image is a Twitter post and link to the post if possible #52

Closed afig closed 5 years ago

afig commented 5 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The bot currently does a good job at transcribing screenshots of Twitter posts. After a successful transcription, people may want to interact with the post on Twitter, and so it would be helpful to have a link to the Tweet if possible (or at least to the Twitter account that made the Tweet).

Describe the solution you'd like The bot should automatically identify whether a transcription is of a Twitter post, and add appropriate hyperlinks.

Describe alternatives you've considered A manual search for the twitter handle or content of the Tweet is possible using a search engine (and is made easier now that the bot successfully transcribes text). However, this process still takes some time, and could be automated.

Additional context This extension has been proposed since day 1 of the project, and so should be worked on earlier.

May want to split this into at least two issues:

  1. Identifying Twitter handles and making them URLs
  2. Identifying twitter post content and either finding it on Twitter, or at least create a Google search query for the post
