About Livelines X: Real-Time Video Translator
Live Captions Overlay shows live captions on the movie or video tab you already have open. A small bar sits on the page: start/stop, spoken language, caption model, and translation.
What it does
• Listen to this tab (YouTube, movie sites, and similar) or the microphone
• Show original speech, a translation, or both
• Floating caption box, subtitle-style line, or hide the panel
• Auto-detect spoken language, with a long list of From/To languages
How captions are made
• On-device models: Moonshine Tiny (fastest), Whisper Tiny, Whisper Base, Whisper Small
• Optional cloud: Groq Whisper Large v3 if you add your own API key in Settings
• Local speech stays on this computer. A Groq key is stored only on this device.
How to use
1. Open the video in a normal site tab (not chrome:// or brave:// pages)
2. Click the Live Captions icon on that tab
3. Choose Tab audio, pick language and model, press Start
4. Play the video with sound on. First local-model run may download the model; later runs are quicker.
Notes
• Brave/Chrome must allow the extension to read site data for tab audio
• Headphones are fine; the tab still needs unmuted playback
• This is not a full desktop app and cannot caption all PC audio outside the browser
