Meet Caption AI

AI-powered caption capture and smart transcript processing for Google Meet

Meet Caption AI - Privacy-Focused Google Meet Transcript Capture Capture and preserve your Google Meet conversations with this privacy-first Chrome extension that never records audio or video. All data stays on your device, giving you complete control over your meeting transcripts. PRIVACY AND SECURITY This extension prioritizes your privacy above all else. No audio or video is ever recorded. All captured captions are stored locally on your device and never transmitted to external servers, except when you optionally use your own OpenAI API key for AI processing. You maintain complete control over your data at all times. CORE FEATURES The extension provides real-time caption capture from Google Meet with automatic speaker detection and tracking. Watch as transcripts appear live with timestamps in a clean, minimalist interface. Smart caption merging intelligently handles Google Meet's incremental caption updates, ensuring you get coherent, readable transcripts without duplicates. Export your meetings in multiple formats including raw transcripts for archival purposes, cleaned transcripts with merged captions, AI-processed conversations with natural formatting, and comprehensive summaries when using the optional AI features. The status indicator keeps you informed about capture activity, and auto-refresh updates your transcript every few seconds. HOW TO USE Simply join any Google Meet meeting and enable captions using the CC button. The extension automatically begins capturing captions along with speaker names. View the live transcript in real-time through the extension popup, then export to a text file when your meeting concludes. Multiple export formats give you flexibility in how you save and share meeting notes. OPTIONAL AI CAPABILITIES Connect your own OpenAI API key to unlock advanced features including intelligent meeting summaries, natural conversation formatting, grammar correction, and text enhancement. You maintain full control over API usage and associated costs. The AI features are entirely optional and the extension works perfectly well without them. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS This extension serves professionals who need accurate meeting records, students attending online classes who want to review discussions later, teams that require shared meeting notes, and anyone interested in accessibility or language learning support. Create meeting minutes automatically, review important decisions, and never lose track of action items discussed during calls. TECHNICAL APPROACH Built with Manifest V3 compliance, the extension works entirely client-side using the Chrome Storage API for local data management. Efficient DOM monitoring through MutationObserver ensures minimal performance impact. The extension supports multiple languages and detects captions regardless of the meeting language. IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS Captions must be enabled in Google Meet for the extension to function. The OpenAI API key is entirely optional and only required if you wish to use AI-powered features. Always inform meeting participants when capturing captions to maintain transparency and respect privacy preferences. This extension is designed for personal, educational, and professional use. TROUBLESHOOTING If caption capture stops unexpectedly, use the Restart Caption button to reinitialize the capture process without needing to reload the page. The extension recovers gracefully from temporary issues while preserving any captions already captured. WHAT THIS EXTENSION DOES NOT DO This extension does not record audio, does not record video, does not capture your screen, does not collect usage data, does not store information on external servers, and does not include any tracking or analytics. Your privacy remains protected throughout your entire experience. Built with transparency and open-source principles, this extension puts your privacy first while delivering powerful meeting transcript capabilities. Version 2.0.0
