Description

This extension uses speech recognition technology, powered by Google, to convert speech from any source into text: the transcribing process. Then it translates the text from one language to another using the selected service. You can use it for: β€” 🎞️ Transcribing and translating livestreams, videos, calls, etc. β€” 🎀 Transcribing and translating your speech for a livestream overlay in OBS (for livestreamers) β€” πŸ–₯️ Real-time computer-assisted translation (basically human translation) β€” πŸ“– Practicing language learning by dictating the text and reading the translation β€” πŸ”  Creating translated subtitles or captions for videos or podcasts β€” πŸ‘©β€πŸ’» Creating a non-machine translation using the textual version of spoken words (called transcript) β€” πŸ‘‚ Enhancing accessibility for people with hearing impairments The extension can be used on Android with Kiwi Browser. But please keep in mind that the extension is not designed for video translation on mobile devices and for mobile usage in general. You may experience some limitations and issues on Android devices, due to technical reasons. If you want to enjoy full functionality on mobile devices, please consider to fund the mobile app development. This will ensure that all features of the extension work correctly on mobile devices.

Removed the extension and is still on my account, no way to turn off either so it's just stuck here...

Doesn't work. When you try to click on "listen", it opens the options tab and with it, closes the permissions that need to be activated (terrible developing).

On Windows 11, Chrome keeps asking me to enable microphone access after I've already done it several times. This extension used to work for me on Windows 10. Why can't this extension be more like the "Real-Time Video & Audio Translation" by Byrdhouse? That one just works as soon as I install it, doesn't even ask for microphone access, it just asks you to login to your Google account. It's not free though (only 30 minutes of audio is free). I'm trying to watch a Twitch.tv video with French audio and translate it to English.

The translation quality is terrible! I converted ChatGPT's responses to speech using Google TTS, then used SpeechTranslator for translation, and the probability of misheard words was extremely high! I tried slowing down the speech speed, lowering the pitch, and even experimented with both US and UK accents, but the results were still very poor! I believe this is an ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) issue – do you support custom ASR engines?

There is no option to select which mic you want to use in chrome as shown in your screenshots. I can only allow microphone usage and thats all.

For whatever reason, it keeps trying to listen through the microphone instead of the system's output audio like other more sensible extensions (like Shazam). I cannot get it to work.

I have completed the setup perfectly but it's not working. Popup is saying "It seems like the web browser did not detect a recording device on your computer. Make sure your audio device is enabled and has been set up properly! Also, make sure you have completed the audio setup using Setup 1or Setup 2. Then click Grant Audio Permission again."

It works for about 15 seconds, then cuts out and stops translating. Google Translate does the same thing. Seems to be an issue with the service. Not useable.

Unfortunately, the program does not work on my system. I have followed the instructions very carefully, three times in a row, to the very last dot, but the algorithm refuses to translate videos. Looks like the best translation method is still to just take snaps of the screen and image translate the subtitles.

I Tried to get it to translate the audio from a video but instead it just repeated back any sounds or words I spoke. I can't find any fix for this anywhere.

Doesn't work at all for Korean even though it's in the tutorial video, literally doesn't even pick up a single word. Tried Edge and Chrome, the only word it picked up was "Yeah" in a ten minute span video and also would stop videos because they became "corrupted" so something is wrong with this app.. Changed videos to a Korean speech making sure it was clearly worded and precise words, still doesn't work at all.

I installed Microsoft Edge developer just to make this work on VK videos to translate from Russian to English - spent hours doing troubleshoot to no avail. Everything checks as shown in the troubleshoot images but no text, none in the box, none in the pop-up window. Tried this on Micrsoft Edge 140 running on Linux Mint 21.1 Update: I finally found an extension that works in Brave and Firefox browsers so I uninstalled Edge - immersivetranslate dot com - free and translates VK Russian subtitles.

The translation itself is OK (I went from Finnish to English and could get the gist of it) but the interface is impossible to control. It simply stops after a minute and you have to keep restarting it. The translation window won't display over a full-screen video, and in a regular screen, you can't control where the translation window goes. It started as an overlay in the upper-left corner, then it went in a popup window that wouldn't stay in front, then I only had the option to put it in a side panel that took up too much of the screen. You'd think simple window options would be one of the basic features this app would get right.

Great for a few seconds now and again, but it goes to sleep for a long time. It detects about 1% of the speech, and ignores everything else for several minutes at a time. Then it will randomly hear something and translate it, which is great, and then just ignore everything for another 5 minutes. I tried changing to Google Translate (Script) and creating my own API key etc, but it didn't help. The issue still persists when 'Show the translated text' is disabled in the Configuration tab. Also tried using a VPN to change my IP/region but it didn't help. Update: The version in Edge works great! It's a 1000x improvement. Almost all of the speech is recognised. If the Chrome version worked like that, then it would be 5 stars. Nobody should ever be forced to use Edge πŸ˜‚

Could not get it to work on twitch. After seeing a bot spam this extension all over google swearing up and down it works for people who want translations for foreign streamers. I tried this out. I've followed the supplied instructions yet some settings are missing or not the same for win 11. System Win 11 64bit. Browser: Brave. Could you update? That or it just does not work on Win 11.. or Twitch.

Would get more stars if it could get the sound directly fom PC and not from the speakers; I have to get near the microphone (a mile away) and turn it round to face the PC speakers. Not good. And then, when I finish using the translator I have to get to the mic (a mile away) and turn it back towards me. Gets it right half the time.
