NGN – AI Audio Transcription

NGN– AI Audio Transcription is a tool that works with your Chrome browser to provide real-time speech to text. It uses advanced Soniox technology to quickly transcribe and translate audio from any website. Think of it like getting live subtitles for anything you watch or listen to online.

Benefits

This extension can make online content much more accessible. It offers super fast transcription and can translate into more than 60 languages. You can get captions that look like they belong on Netflix, appearing and disappearing smoothly. It also lets you change how the captions look, like their size, color, and position on the screen. You can even move the captions around or resize them. Plus, you can save the transcriptions in different file formats like SRT, VTT, or TXT, complete with time codes, so you can use them with any video player. It helps you keep track of your usage with a balance calculator and a timer for your sessions. The tool can automatically figure out what language is being spoken and can even tell different speakers apart. A quick keyboard shortcut lets you start or stop recording instantly, and it makes sure the original audio still plays normally.

Use Cases

NGN is great for anyone who watches videos or listens to audio online. It’s especially helpful if you enjoy foreign films, need to understand content in a different language, or are learning a new language. It can also be useful for attending online meetings or webinars where clear captions are important. Because you can export the transcriptions, it’s also handy for anyone who needs to document or review audio content.

Pricing

NGN itself is free to use and its code is open source. You only pay for the use of the Soniox API, which is estimated to cost around $0.12 per hour for both transcription and translation. The extension is designed with privacy in mind; it does not collect or track your data, and your audio is processed directly by Soniox without being saved. Your API key is stored securely on your computer.

Vibes

This extension is noted for its privacy features, with the developer stating that data is not sold to third parties and is not used for purposes unrelated to the service. It also mentions that consumer rights for EU consumers might not apply since the developer has not identified as a trader.
