WhisperLiveKit Chrome Extension v0.1.1

Capture the audio of your current tab, transcribe diarize and translate it using WhisperliveKit, in Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers.

Currently, only the tab audio is captured; your microphone audio is not recorded.

Running this extension

1. Run python sync_extension.py to copy frontend files to the chrome-extension directory.
2. Load the chrome-extension directory in Chrome as an unpacked extension.

Devs:

• Impossible to capture audio from tabs if extension is a pannel, unfortunately:
