Field notes
The page describes a Chrome extension paired with a small Mac helper: the extension reads subtitles from the player, while voice generation—and Japanese translation in Standard—run on the computer. Its sample interface includes per-character casting, a control for balancing English and original audio, and a playback lag indicator. The site says voices take about 40 seconds to initialize the first time. Use is constrained to Apple-silicon Macs and Chrome, and the beta download asks for an email.
