Chrome Extension to Transcribe Any Browser Tab
TranscribeAudio is a Chrome extension that transcribes audio from any browser tab in real-time using OpenAI's Whisper-based speech recognition.
In plain English
Sound playing in a browser tab can be turned into written words while it plays. TranscribeAudio is an add-on for the Chrome browser, and it works on whatever tab is making the audio, so a meeting, a video, or a lesson does not need a separate recorder. People can start free and pay for a fuller version when they need more. The AI does almost all of the listening and the writing, and payments are handled for them. The person running the add-on still checks quality, helps users, and reaches new people through the Chrome store and its reviews.
