Video Translate & Speak — Watch Any Video in Your Language Translate subtitles into 90+ languages — right on the video player. No copy-pasting, no switching tabs, no interruptions. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ SUPPORTED PLATFORMS ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎬 YouTube 🎤 TED 📚 Udemy 🎓 Coursera More platforms coming soon... ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHAT IT DOES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 Instant Caption Translation Pick your language, hit translate, and watch subtitles appear in real time as the video plays. Supports 90+ languages out of the box. 🔤 Side-by-Side Bilingual View See both the original and translated text at the same time — ideal for picking up new vocabulary or following along in two languages. 🔊 Read Aloud Have the translated text spoken to you using your browser's built-in voices or Google Cloud TTS (Chirp3-HD) for natural, human-like speech. 🎙️ No Captions? No Problem. Some videos simply don't have subtitles. With Soniox speech recognition, the extension listens to the tab audio and generates captions from scratch — in real time. 🎨 Make It Yours Customize everything: font, text size, colors, background opacity, and text stroke. Your subtitles, your style. 📥 Download as SRT Export both original and translated captions as SRT files (zipped together). Great for video editing, studying, or offline use. ✨ AI Video Summary (YouTube) Hit the Summarize button and get a structured summary of the entire video — overview, key points, takeaways, and details — powered by OpenAI. Pick your language and the summary is written in it. No need to watch the whole thing to know what it covers. Copy as Markdown or download as a .md file. ⚡ Set It and Forget It Translations are cached locally per video. Come back anytime — no need to re-translate. 🖱️ Draggable Panels Move the control panel and subtitle list anywhere on screen. Works perfectly across all supported sites. 🔄 Smooth Navigation Built to handle single-page app behavior. Switch between videos on YouTube, TED, Udemy playlists — everything keeps working. 📜 Toggleable Side Panel Close the subtitle list anytime without losing it — hit the 📜 button to bring it back. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ GETTING STARTED ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 1. Go to any video on a supported platform 2. The control panel appears automatically on the player 3. Choose your language → press ▶ Translate 4. That's it — bilingual subtitles appear instantly ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ FREE vs. PREMIUM FEATURES ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Everything below works right after installation — zero setup: ✅ Caption translation (Google Translate, free) ✅ Bilingual overlay on the player ✅ YouTube, TED, Udemy, Coursera supported ✅ Voice readout via browser TTS ✅ Style customization ✅ SRT export ✅ Local caching ✅ Quick action buttons (Translate & Summarize) on YouTube Want even better quality? You can optionally bring your own API keys: 🔑 Google Cloud Translation — more accurate and stable for long sessions or technical content 🔑 OpenAI API — context-aware AI translation with customizable prompts + AI video summary 🔑 Google Cloud TTS (Chirp3-HD) — natural, human-like voices that sound far better than default browser speech 🔑 Soniox STT — the only way to get captions on videos that have none at all ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ FAQ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ❓ Do I need an API key? Nope. Install it and go. The free Google Translate engine handles translation, and your browser's voices handle speech. Nothing else required. ❓ Then what are API keys for? They're optional upgrades: • Google Cloud Translation → better accuracy, especially for nuanced or technical language • Google Cloud TTS → premium Chirp3-HD voices that sound remarkably natural • Soniox → generates live captions from audio when a video has no existing subtitles ❓ Will API keys cost me money? Each service offers a generous free tier. Google Cloud gives you 500,000 translated characters per month at no charge. You'd only pay if you go beyond those limits. ❓ Is my API key secure? Absolutely. Keys stay in your browser's local storage and are sent only to the official service endpoints (Google Cloud, Soniox). They never pass through any third-party server. ❓ What if a video has no subtitles at all? You'll need a Soniox API key for that. The extension captures the tab's audio stream and converts speech to text on the fly. ❓ Is this useful for language learning? Very much so. The bilingual display lets you compare original and translated text line by line. Pair that with voice readout for pronunciation, and you've got a solid immersion tool using real-world content. ❓ How does the AI Summary work? On YouTube, click the ✨ Summarize button on the right side. The extension grabs the video transcript and sends it to OpenAI, which returns a structured summary with overview, key points, takeaways, and details — written in your chosen language. Requires an OpenAI API key. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHY THESE PERMISSIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Site access (YouTube, TED, Udemy, Coursera) — to read captions and render the overlay on the player • Tab audio capture — only used when Soniox STT is active, to generate captions from audio • Storage — to keep your preferences, cached translations, and API keys locally ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 Questions, bugs, or ideas? Drop a review or reach out via the support page — every bit of feedback helps shape future updates.

Nope. Install it and go. The free Google Translate engine handles translation, and your browser's voices handle speech. You can also use OpenRouter with free models — just grab a free key from openrouter.ai/keys. ❓ Then what are API keys for?

Ollama lets you run AI models locally on your computer — completely free and private. Install from ollama.com, pull a model (e.g. `ollama pull llama3.2`), set environment variable `OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*`, restart Ollama, and select "Ollama (Local/Cloud)" in the extension. You can also use Ollama Cloud with a Pro subscription for faster inference. ❓ What is OpenRouter? OpenRouter gives you access to 200+ AI models through a single API key. Many models are free (look for `:free` tag). Get your key at openrouter.ai/keys and browse models at openrouter.ai/models. ❓ Will API keys cost me money? Each service offers a generous free tier.

Summaries are cached so you don't need to regenerate them. ❓ How does Local WebSocket TTS work? Select "Local WebSocket" in TTS settings and run the supertonic-tool server (github.com/thanhng8/supertonic-tool). The extension connects to your local TTS server for speech output with adjustable playback speed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHY THESE PERMISSIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Site access (YouTube, TED, Udemy, Coursera) — to read captions and render the overlay on the player • API access (Google, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter) — to send translation/summarization requests to your chosen provider • Tab audio capture — only used when Soniox STT is active, to generate captions from audio • Storage — to keep your preferences, cached translations, summaries, and API keys locally ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 Questions, bugs, or ideas?

Helpful for pronunciation practice or hands-free viewing. 🚫 Skip Translation for Videos Already in Your Target Language If the video already has subtitles in your chosen language, the extension automatically uses them instead of re-translating. 🎙️ No Captions? No Problem. Some videos simply don't have subtitles. With Soniox speech recognition, the extension listens to the tab audio and generates captions from scratch — in real time. 🎨 Make It Yours Customize everything: font, text size, colors, background opacity, and text stroke.

Nope. Install it and go. The free Google Translate engine handles translation, and your browser's voices handle speech. You can also use OpenRouter with free models — just grab a free key from openrouter.ai/keys. ❓ Then what are API keys for? They're optional upgrades: • Google Cloud Translation → better accuracy, especially for nuanced or technical language • OpenAI / Gemini / OpenRouter → AI-powered context-aware translation + video summarization • Ollama → completely free and private, runs on your own hardware • Google Cloud TTS → premium Chirp3-HD voices that sound remarkably natural • Soniox → generates live captions from audio when a video has no existing subtitles ❓ What is Ollama and how do I use it? Ollama lets you run AI models locally on your computer — completely free and private. Install from ollama.com, pull a model (e.g. `ollama pull llama3.2`), set environment variable `OLLAMA_ORIGINS=*`, restart Ollama, and select "Ollama (Local/Cloud)" in the extension. You can also use Ollama Cloud with a Pro subscription for faster inference. ❓ What is OpenRouter? OpenRouter gives you access to 200+ AI models through a single API key. Many models are free (look for `:free` tag). Get your key at openrouter.ai/keys and browse models at openrouter.ai/models. ❓ Will API keys cost me money? Each service offers a generous free tier. Google Cloud gives you 500,000 translated characters per month at no charge. OpenRouter has many free models. Ollama local is completely free. You'd only pay if you go beyond those limits or use paid models. ❓ Is my API key secure? Absolutely. Keys stay in your browser's local storage and are sent only to the official service endpoints (Google Cloud, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter, Soniox). They never pass through any third-party server. ❓ What if a video has no subtitles at all? You'll need a Soniox API key for that. The extension captures the tab's audio stream and converts speech to text on the fly. ❓ Is this useful for language learning? Very much so. The bilingual display lets you compare original and translated text line by line. Pair that with voice readout for pronunciation, and you've got a solid immersion tool using real-world content. ❓ How does the AI Summary work? On YouTube, click the ✨ Summarize button on the right side. The extension grabs the video transcript and sends it to your chosen AI provider (OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, or OpenRouter), which returns a structured summary with overview, key points, takeaways, and details — written in your chosen language. Summaries are cached so you don't need to regenerate them. ❓ How does Local WebSocket TTS work? Select "Local WebSocket" in TTS settings and run the supertonic-tool server (github.com/thanhng8/supertonic-tool). The extension connects to your local TTS server for speech output with adjustable playback speed. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✦ WHY THESE PERMISSIONS? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ • Site access (YouTube, TED, Udemy, Coursera) — to read captions and render the overlay on the player • API access (Google, OpenAI, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter) — to send translation/summarization requests to your chosen provider • Tab audio capture — only used when Soniox STT is active, to generate captions from audio • Storage — to keep your preferences, cached translations, summaries, and API keys locally ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 💬 Questions, bugs, or ideas?
