Install and sign in

The Chrome Web Store listing is coming soon. Private testers can load the supplied unpacked build through Chrome extensions in Developer mode. Once installed, open transcript1 and sign in on transcript1.com. You never paste an API key into the extension.

Use it on the video you are watching

  1. Play a video in Chrome

    Open the transcript1 toolbar button or its on-video control and choose Start subtitles.

  2. Choose the text you want

    Keep the original subtitles, add a translation, and adjust the size and position from the on-video menu.

  3. Stop and revisit

    Stop subtitles when you finish. With saving enabled, the live transcript is available in your dashboard.

Ordinary sites and protected players

Chrome supports audio capture from ordinary video players and protected services such as Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video. Browser permissions and player access still apply. On sources transcript1 can fetch, ahead-of-playback subtitles and whole-video mode are also available.

Your account, your minutes

The Chrome extension uses your transcript1 account balance. Live subtitles use 1 credit per started minute of connected time. Ahead-of-playback audio is charged as transcribed, and whole-video mode bills the full video length.

While the public store listing is being prepared, use the web dashboard for supported video links and uploads. Developers can also use the transcript1 API in their own products.

Frequently asked questions

Something missing? Ask support

Is there a Chrome Web Store install link?

Not yet. The Chrome Web Store listing is coming soon; the current version is a private test build. This page will link to the verified listing when it is available.

Can it subtitle protected video in Chrome?

Chrome supports protected-video audio capture, including Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video. You still need access to the video and must grant the required browser permissions.

Is this the same as pasting a link into the dashboard?

The extension follows the video you are watching, including live audio. The dashboard accepts supported public recorded-video links and uploaded files. Both use your transcript1 account.

Can I use it without saving the transcript?

Yes. Turn live-session saving off in settings. Saving is enabled by default; it is separate from displaying subtitles.
