Description

It uses speech recognition technology to convert speech from any source into text: the transcribing process. Then it translates the text from one language to another using the selected service.

You can use it for:

• 🎞️ Transcribing and translating livestreams, videos, calls, etc.
• 🎤 Transcribing and translating your speech for a livestream overlay in OBS (for livestreamers)
• 🖥️ Real-time computer-assisted translation (basically human translation)
• 📖 Practicing language learning by dictating the text and reading the translation
• 🔠 Creating translated subtitles or captions for videos or podcasts
• 👩‍💻 Creating a non-machine translation using the textual version of spoken words (called transcript)
• 👂 Enhancing accessibility for people with hearing impairments The extension can be used on Android with Kiwi Browser.

Download and Install:

• Chrome Web Store
• Edge Add-ons Store

Contributing

Currently, the project does not have any funding, so even a small tip or a paid subscription can make a big difference. As a subscriber, you will enjoy various perks, such as extra translation services and personal tech support. Your generosity will help me cover the costs of development and maintenance, and motivate me to keep improving the extension.
Here you can donate or subscribe

If you can't make a donation, you can still contribute by sharing the extension with your friends and community and by giving feedback on the Chrome Web Store and Edge Add-ons Store.
