FAQs :-

Q: With which browsers is this extension compatible ?
This extension will work with chrome and other chromium based browsers like edge, brave etc. and can be tweaked to work with firefox and other browsers.

Q: From where can this extension be installed ?
This extension is published on chrome web store. Click below to view it in chrome web store or can be built and loaded from source.

Q: Subtitles are slower than audio/video ?
Since unlike Youtube's auto-generated captions where captions are generated when video is uploaded, here it can't seek audio blobs beforehand(could be possible by checking n/w requests having media type responses) so there is a lag. Lag may get reduced by adjusting the timeslice of AudioRecorder. WIP for reducing lag.
