Everything in the side panel
Live transcripts beside any tab
The side panel opens on whatever page you're watching - YouTube, Twitch, or any other site with audio. Transcripts stream in as words are spoken.
Search while the stream runs
Type any word or phrase and the list filters instantly. Click a result to jump the video to that exact timestamp.
Works on VODs too
Open a finished video and hit 'Get transcript'. The extension fetches YouTube captions or generates one from audio (Pro).

Sign in once and your Pro features - real-time access, full history, multilingual mode - carry over automatically.
