About

Title: Built a Chrome extension that lets you speak in one language and post a translated YouTube comment — looking for feedback
Made this because I kept wanting to comment on English YouTube videos but felt more natural saying what I meant in Telugu first. Figured other people probably hit the same wall in other language pairs, so I built a small extension around it.
What it does:

Pick a "speak in" language and a "post comment in" language
Tap the mic, talk, tap again to stop
If the two languages differ, it auto-translates (you can still edit the text before posting)
Click one button and it drops the text into the YouTube comment box for you — you still hit YouTube's own Comment button, it doesn't auto-post anything

How it's built, for anyone curious:

Manifest V3 Chrome extension
Speech-to-text is just the browser's built-in Web Speech API — no server, no API key, and it already covers 15+ languages including Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, etc.
Translation goes through a free translation API
A content script finds YouTube's comment box (revealing it if it's still collapsed) and inserts the text the same way YouTube's own UI would

Current state: it's a "load unpacked" dev build for now, not on the Chrome Web Store yet — wanted to get it in front of people and get roasted for bugs before submitting it for review.
Where it probably breaks: YouTube changes its DOM often enough that the comment-box detection could stop working at some point, and the free translation API has a daily rate limit so heavy use might get throttled.
Genuinely curious what people think — is this something you'd actually use, and which langua

Title: Built a Chrome extension so you can post YouTube comments by voice — helps if typing in your language is hard or you're not confident spelling it out
Two things kept bugging me:

A lot of native keyboards for Indian languages (and plenty of others) are clunky to type on, so people just don't bother commenting in their own language, or they give up and type broken English instead.
Even in English, typing on a phone means typos, autocorrect fights, and comments that don't say what you meant.

So I built an extension where you just talk, and it handles the rest.
What it does:

Pick the language you're speaking and the language you want the comment posted in
Tap the mic, say what you want to say, tap again to stop
If the two languages differ, it translates automatically — you can still edit the text before posting
One click drops the text into YouTube's comment box; you still hit YouTube's own Comment button, it doesn't auto-post

No more misspelled words, no fighting with a native-language keyboard, no "I know what I want to say but can't type it" — you just say it.
How it's built, for anyone curious:

Manifest V3 Chrome extension
Speech-to-text uses the browser's built-in Web Speech API — no server, no API key, and it already covers 15+ languages (Telugu, Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Bengali, and more, plus the usual English/Spanish/French/etc.)
Translation goes through a free translation API
A content script finds YouTube's comment box and inserts the text the way YouTube's own UI would, so the character counter and Comment button behave normally

Current state: "load unpacked" dev build for now, not on the Chrome Web Store yet — wanted feedback and bug reports before submitting it for review.
Where it probably breaks: YouTube's DOM changes over time, so comment-box detection could stop working at some point; the free translation API has a daily rate limit so heavy use might get throttled.
Would love to know: which languages should I prioritize adding next, and does the voice-first idea actually solve a problem for you, or is typing not really the friction point?
