SonicCaption is a browser extension for Chrome and Edge that provides instant, bilingual subtitles and translations for any audio playing in your browser tab. It solves the challenge of understanding foreign language content in real-time, helping users stay engaged in videos, live streams, and online meetings without constant pausing or rewinding.

Key features include its low-latency, real-time processing, with subtitles appearing in approximately 0.5 seconds, making it suitable for live content. It offers dual subtitle display, showing both the original and translated text simultaneously. The extension boasts universal compatibility, working with platforms like YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Zoom, and Google Meet, all without requiring any file uploads.

Common use cases include following foreign language streams or anime, understanding online classes, participating in international meetings, and practicing language skills by seeing both the original and translated text side-by-side.
