Description
Live bilingual captions for any tab: the original line and its translation, from your own Gemini or Deepgram + DeepL key. Bilingual Live Captions puts a two-line caption over any video you are watching: the original speech on top, its translation underneath. BEFORE YOU INSTALL • You need your own API key. This extension has no subscription and no server of its own — it uses your key to talk to the provider directly. A free Google AI Studio key is enough to start. The interface follows Chrome's language: English or Traditional Chinese. TWO WAYS TO RUN IT • Gemini live translate 3.5 (default) — one Google API key. A single connection sends the tab audio and returns both the original text and the translation. 78 target languages; the source language is detected automatically. • Deepgram Nova-3 + DeepL — two keys. Speech recognition advances word by word, so the original line grows as the speaker talks, and each finished line is translated separately. WHAT YOU CAN ADJUST • 1, 2 or 3 caption rows • Separate font sizes for the original and the translation • Caption box width, background opacity, distance from the bottom • Maximum and minimum line length (Deepgram mode) • Everything applies live, while captions are running WHERE IT WORKS YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ and ordinary HTML5 video on any https page, including fullscreen. PRIVACY No analytics, no telemetry, no server of ours. Your keys stay in local Chrome storage on this device. Tab audio goes straight from your browser to the provider you picked.
