My Ears Extension

This extension is a privacy sensitive audio transcription tool which generates text from the speech audio in any single Chrome tab. Optionally it can include the local microphone to produce a transcript of two way conversations. It doesn't send any source audio media, or the produced transcript to any external services.
This is achieved by running the transcription engine within a WASM module in the browser to keep the user data sovereign.

Version 1.0.1 release notes:

* Improved performance to allow the extension to operate on small dual core devices (reduce number of streams)

* Better UX on starting
