  description

  Meet zwitcha — where "Switcher" meets "Zwitscher" (German for bird chirping). The only voice transcription extension that lets you switch between AI prompts and webhooks WHILE you're recording. Change your mind mid-sentence? Switch to a different prompt. Want to trigger a webhook? Do it without stopping. Your voice, your workflow, your control.
  
  THE SWITCHING DIFFERENCE
  
  Switch Prompts Mid-Recording
  Started recording for a quick note but realized it should be an email? Just click the sparkle icon (✨) while recording and activate your "Email Formatter" prompt. No need to stop, re-record, or manually edit. zwitcha adapts to your thinking in real-time.
  
  Trigger Webhooks On-Demand
  See the webhook icon while recording? Click it to instantly send your transcription to Notion, Slack, or any automation tool—without interrupting your recording. Capture the thought, send it where it needs to go, all in one fluid motion.
  
  Post-Processing Power
  Finished recording? Run custom AI prompts on your transcription to transform it:
  
  * Raw notes → Professional email
  * Stream of consciousness → Action items
  * Meeting recording → Structured summary
  * Voice memo → Code comments
  * Casual speech → Polished prose
  
  This is what makes zwitcha different: flexibility while you speak, power after you speak.
  
  CORE FEATURES
  
  Instant Voice Recording
  Press Alt+S and start speaking. Your words become text, powered by OpenAI's Whisper AI—one of the most accurate speech recognition engines available. Works on any webpage, any time.
  
  AI-Powered Transcription
  Powered by OpenAI's industry-leading Whisper API, zwitcha delivers highly accurate transcriptions across multiple languages and accents. Your audio is processed securely and transcribed text is automatically copied to your clipboard, ready to paste anywhere.
  
  Custom AI Prompts (Post-Processing)
  After recording, instantly process your transcription with custom AI prompts that:
  
  * Fix grammar and spelling errors
  * Format text professionally
  * Translate to other languages
  * Summarize long recordings
  * Extract key points and action items
  * Rewrite in different tones or styles
  * And many more...
  
  Dynamic Prompt Switching (Unique Feature)
  Create unlimited custom prompts and toggle them ON/OFF DURING recording:
  
  * Start recording with no prompt active
  * Mid-recording, realize you need formatting
  * Click the sparkle (✨) button to activate your chosen prompt
  * Continue recording—your intent changes on the fly
  * Your transcription will be processed with the active prompt
  
  Real-world example: You're voice-journaling about your day, then remember a work task. Click to activate your "Task Extractor" prompt without stopping. One recording, two purposes, zero friction.
  
  Live Webhook Triggering (Unique Feature)
  The game-changer: trigger webhooks WHILE you're recording. See the webhook icon (🔗) during recording? Click it to instantly send your transcription-in-progress to your automation tools. No waiting, no extra steps.
  
  Configure webhooks for different destinations:
  
  * Task management tools (Notion, Asana, Trello)
  * Note-taking apps (Evernote, OneNote)
  * Communication platforms (Slack, Discord, Teams)
  * Custom automation workflows (Zapier, Make, n8n)
  * Your own applications and APIs
  
  Perfect for: Logging voice memos, creating tasks from voice commands, or building voice-controlled automations.
  
  Smart Recording Controls
  
  * Alt+S (Windows/Linux) or Alt+S (Mac): Start/stop recording
  * Space (while recording): Pause/Resume recording
  * Option/Alt (while recording): Available for future extensions
  * Click ✨: Activate/Deactivate custom prompt for post-processing
  * Click 🔗: Trigger webhook with your current transcription
  * Esc: Cancel recording
  
  Text Shortcuts & Auto-Replacement
  Create custom shortcuts to automatically replace words or phrases in your transcriptions. Say "my email" and it becomes "[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])". Say "my address" and get your full mailing address. Perfect for:
  
  * Email addresses and phone numbers
  * Long company or product names
  * Technical terms and abbreviations
  * Personal information you say frequently
  * URLs and links
  * And many more...
  
  No more spelling out your email address or repeating long phrases—just create a shortcut once and speak naturally forever.

  See your audio levels in real-time with a beautiful visual indicator that confirms your microphone is working and shows recording activity.
  
  Keyboard Shortcuts Configuration
  Customize your keyboard shortcuts in the options page to match your workflow preferences. Default uses Alt+S for recording toggle.
