Audio Transcription & Live Interpreter

Real-time transcription, live translation, and speech-to-speech playback for any audio playing in your browser.

Audio Transcription is a powerful extension that turns your browser into a real-time interpreter. It captures any audio playing in a tab, transcribes it, translates it live, and can even read the results back to you. It works with any audio or video stream, completely independent of whether the source has pre-existing subtitles. ⚠️ IMPORTANT: This extension requires a local server running on your computer (based on WhisperLive) to process the audio, ensuring your data remains private and operates with low latency. ✨ Key Features: • 🗣️ Real-Time Speech-to-Speech: Listen to live translations as they happen. The extension can read the transcribed or translated text aloud, creating a seamless audio interpreting experience. • 📝 Live Transcription: Fast and accurate transcription using your local machine's processing power with OpenAI's Whisper AI. • 🌐 Instant Translation: Translate live transcriptions on the fly using Google Translate (free) or Google Gemini API for advanced, context-aware translations. • 🖼️ Flexible UI Modes: View transcripts in a floating overlay or a dedicated Standalone popup window (perfect for web podcasts, Zoom, Google Meet, or Teams). • 📋 Text History: Saves all processed text in a continuous history for easy clipboard copying. • 🛡️ Total Privacy: All audio is processed on your local server. No data is sent to third-party cloud transcription services. ⚙️ SERVER INSTRUCTIONS & SOURCE CODE: To use this extension, you must run the local server.
