  🆕 What's New (v28.3.1)
  ────────────────────────────────
  ▶ Voice Notes redesigned: live transcript
  No more waiting for recording to finish. Every ~20 seconds of speech is transcribed on the spot, so you watch the text appear as you talk.
  
  ▶ No recording time limit
  A new segmented-recording engine removes the length cap on live recording — great for long meetings and interviews. Uploaded audio files up to ~9.5 hours are supported.
  
  ▶ Automatic language detection
  No need to pick a language first. The AI detects what you're speaking automatically, and even handles mixed languages (e.g. English + Chinese) correctly.
  
  ▶ Optional live translation
  A new "Also translate" toggle (off by default). Turn it on for a side-by-side original / translation view; leave it off for a clean single-column transcript.
  
  ▶ More reliable, clearer errors
  Transcription and translation now run separately, so a failed translation can no longer wipe out your transcript. If a segment fails, it shows the real reason to make troubleshooting easy.
  
  ── Main Features ──
  🎙️ Voice Notes
  Record or upload audio and let the AI turn speech into text in real time. Live transcript appears after ~20 seconds, language is detected automatically, and translation can run alongside. Recording length is unlimited, and the transcript can be copied or opened in the Reader. Perfect for meetings, interviews, and multilingual notes.
  
  💬 Incognito AI Chat
  A private Gemini AI chat window that leaves no record once closed. Four tabs for four models:
  • Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite — fastest, great for everyday questions and translation
  • Gemini 3.5 Flash — balanced speed and quality, supports images and documents
  • Gemini 3.1 Pro (preview) — strongest reasoning, ideal for deep analysis of long documents
  • Local Model — connect Ollama / LM Studio for fully offline text chat
  Not sure which to use? The default Flash Lite fits most cases. Supports 7 custom prompt presets.
  
  🌐 Translation Workbench
  Paste text, drop in a screenshot, or translate the current web page directly. Includes image text recognition (OCR), a choice of target language, and an optional AI summary.
  
  🔊 AI Read-Aloud & Voice Summary [Beta]
  Turn YouTube captions, audio files, web pages, or pasted text into natural-sounding speech, or generate a voice summary. Powered by the new Gemini TTS (Kore voice — warm and steady), with custom narration instructions and WAV output.
  
  📖 Web Page Translation & Reading
  Turn cluttered web pages into a clean, readable view, filling the gaps where Chrome's built-in translation falls short. Built-in read-aloud in the Reader: pick a language, press "Speak," and listen.
  
  ── Privacy by Design ──
  • No backend server: every AI call goes straight from your browser
  • No data collection: the developer never sees your input or output
  • You hold the key: your Gemini API key stays only in your local Chrome storage
  • Local AI supported: text chat and translation can connect to Ollama / LM Studio — data never leaves your machine
  
  ── Multilingual Interface ──
  14 languages: Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish, Arabic (with RTL), Russian, Portuguese, Portuguese (Brazil), Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Czech.

  🎙️ Voice Notes
  Record audio or upload a file — AI transcribes speech to text and labels different speakers. Tap any paragraph to translate instantly. Great for meetings, interviews, and multilingual notes.
  
  💬 Incognito AI Chat
  A private Gemini AI chat window — no history saved after you close the tab. Four independent tabs for different models:
  • Gemini Flash Lite — Fastest, ideal for everyday questions and translation
  • Gemini Flash — Balanced speed and quality, supports image and document uploads
  • Gemini Pro — Strongest reasoning for deep document analysis
  • Local Model — Connect to Ollama / LM Studio for fully offline text chat
  Not sure which to pick? The default Flash Lite works for most everyday tasks. Supports 7 custom prompt presets.
  
  🌐 Translation Workbench
  Paste text, drop in a screenshot, or translate the current webpage. OCR image text recognition included, with AI summary.
  
  ⛰️ Three Dharma Teachers — Mindfulness
  Three influential Buddhist teachers respond to your everyday concerns in distinct philosophical styles:
  • 🙏 Dalai — Tibetan Gelug tradition, compassion and bodhicitta
  • ⛰️ Dharma Drum — Master Sheng Yen's Chan/Zen, direct and penetrating
  • 🪷 Humanistic — Fo Guang Shan, grounded in daily life and action
  Side-by-side comparison mode and individual conversation tabs for each style.
  
  🔊 AI Text-to-Speech [Beta]
  Convert YouTube captions, audio files, webpages, or pasted text into natural spoken audio. Powered by Gemini TTS (Aoede voice, calm and friendly), with custom reading instructions. Exports wav.
  
  📖 Translate & Read Webpages
  Turn complex pages into a clean reading view. Covers pages that Chrome's built-in translator doesn't support, or when you need an AI summary. Built-in read-aloud: select a language and tap "Speak" to listen.
  
  ── Privacy by Design ──
  • No backend server: all AI calls go directly from your browser
  • No data collection: the developer cannot see your input or output
  • Bring Your Own Key: your Gemini API key is stored only in Chrome's local storage
  • Local AI support: text chat and translation via Ollama / LM Studio — data never touches the network
