About this early version

The download includes the offline speech model and is approximately 53 MB. It is not on the Chrome Web Store yet. Release details and checksum.

The installed extension captures real webpage selections, screenshots and recordings, with local transcription. Chrome’s protected pages cannot be captured. Export important work before clearing browser data.

The website demo simulates voice, screenshots and uploads. The Chrome extension can attach screenshots to ChatGPT; in other tools, you may need to attach the files yourself. The website example can export notes as HTML with example images, or JSON with image references. Shared feedback does not include audio.
