⭐️ How it works
• Click Start to begin
• LaserFocus captures the active tab’s audio, sends it to a transcriber for transcription, and uses LLM to generate short MCQs.
• At your chosen interval, the video pauses and a question appears.
• Answer correctly to resume; answer wrong to retry or restart from checkpoint.

⭐️ Privacy & Data
• Captures tab audio only with your action; no microphone access.
• Audio is sent to a transcriber for transcription; text is sent to a llm to generate MCQs.
• No selling of data
• Storage: audio/transcripts are not stored by LaserFocus; basic usage counts kept for quota enforcement.
• See our full Privacy Policy for details and your choices.

⭐️ Permissions we use (and why)
• tabCapture – capture tab audio only after you click Start
• offscreen – process audio reliably even if the popup is closed
• scripting / activeTab – inject the MCQ overlay into the current page
• storage – remember your settings and usage counters.
• notifications – optional reminders and timing for intervals.
• tabs – resume/pause the active video and track the current tab.

⭐️ Great for
• Students, professionals, and lifelong learners who want accountability during video lessons
• Anyone who drifts during lectures, tutorials, or long talks and wants gentle, periodic check-ins
