Real-time browser interpretation

Understand every tab that speaks.

Live bilingual subtitles for a livestream, meeting, lecture, podcast, or video— placed right over the page where you need them. Works on website tabs; Chrome's own pages, the Web Store, and copy-protected media cannot be captured.

Simple by design

From sign-in to subtitles in three steps.

Set up once, then start or stop subtitles with one toolbar click whenever you have time available.

01 / ACCOUNT

Sign in securely

Continue with Google. No API key, no configuration, nothing to paste in.

02 / LANGUAGE

Choose what you read

Pick one of thirteen translation languages. Spoken language is detected automatically.

03 / READY

Click and follow along

Invoke the extension on a tab with audio and read both languages in the overlay.

Made for the moment

Subtitles that stay out of the way.

Controls live beside the subtitles they affect. The overlay recedes while it is running and returns when you need it.

01 · Bilingual by default

Hear one language. Read two.

The spoken language is detected automatically. See the translation and, when you want it, the original transcript underneath.

02 · On-page controls

No popup to hunt for.

Start, stop, change language, resize the panel, and watch your remaining time — all from the subtitle bar.

03 · Account history

Usage you can understand.

See each session's start, end, consumed duration, and status without storing its content.

Hours, not mystery

Start free. Add only what fits.

Fifty cents an hour, and you can see the whole allowance before capture starts. Active sessions continuously process tab audio, including silence. Stripe handles checkout and payment details on its secure hosted pages.

Privacy, plainly

Your words are live, not a record.

  • Capture starts only when you invoke it. Chrome grants access to the current tab after your click or keyboard shortcut.
  • Content never reaches our servers. Audio goes from your browser straight to the speech provider and the subtitles come straight back. We could not retain them if we wanted to.
  • History is metadata only. Start, end, consumed duration, and status are retained for 12 months—never audio, transcript text, tab titles, or visited URLs.

Good to know

Clear answers.

Where does the audio go?

Straight from your browser to the speech provider that produces the subtitles, over an encrypted connection, using a short-lived credential we issue for that session. It does not pass through our servers, so we never hold it.

What consumes your hours?

A running session continuously streams audio, including silence. Usage is based on audio accepted and forwarded for interpretation, not transcript length.

Can it access my microphone?

No. It captures audio playing in the selected browser tab, not a microphone or camera.

Does it save transcripts?

No. Subtitle text stays in the extension's memory for live display and is discarded when the session stops, the tab closes, or the browser restarts. There is nothing kept to export.
