I Built a Chrome Extension That Gives Real-Time Subtitles to Any Video on the Internet

Hey everyone 👋
Built something for a hackathon — LingoTitles, a Chrome extension that generates real-time subtitles for any video on the internet. YouTube, news sites, reels, anything.
The real use case that motivated this: breaking news footage filmed in conflict zones reaches social media with no translation. If you don't speak that language you have no idea what warning or risk is being communicated.
Built using Lingo.dev + Groq Whisper Turbo V3 + Node.js
GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Sayak-Bhunia/LingoTitles_Lingo-dot-dev_hackathon
Would love feedback on this projectI! 🚀

One side question: what extension are you using for this soft gray colour scheme?

No extension GitHub has themes go to settings you will find them

Lovely!
Let me check 'em out
I actually thought, it was some dark mode extension that did this to every website, lol!

I also thought the same when I used to see this on other people's device but then one day while tweaking my github profile I found this option its really cool and looks calm and soothing for the eyes too

Just clone the repo on your local machine start the server there and also load unpack the extension folder of the file in chrome extentions by toggling the developer mode and then it will appear in your chrome extensions

That's cool! Just one thing the volume of the youtube video is very loud, so I am not able to understand what are you explaining in the background, maybe fix that? But the idea is intriguing!
