Review Summary
Users love the extension's instant transcription and pronunciation features, praising its usefulness even on platforms like Google Docs. However, recurring concerns include the lack of keyboard shortcuts, absence of auto-transcription settings per site, and rendering issues on dynamically loaded content like Twitter. Typing while the extension is active can cause translation problems, and users desire options for accent selection and font customization. Overall, it is highly valued but could improve with these enhancements.
Pros
- Instant transcription of most text across various websites.
- Clicking on a word to hear its pronunciation is an extremely useful feature.
- Supports transcription even on complex platforms like Google Docs.
- Simple and elegant user interface that's easy to use.
- Provides word stress marks in transcriptions, enhancing clarity.
Cons
- Lack of keyboard shortcuts to quickly enable or disable the extension and pronunciation feature.
- No option to auto-transcribe on specific sites or remember on/off states per site or globally, requiring manual activation each time.
- Issues with transcription not rendering correctly on dynamically loaded content (e.g., Twitter replies and scrolling feed).
- Problems when typing text with the extension enabled, as mid-word IPA translation disrupts correct input.
- Limited customization, such as inability to choose between British and American English transcriptions or different IPA fonts.
