Distill listens to your active browser tab, translates speech into 16 languages simultaneously, and renders live ASL visual cards alongside the audio. Built for people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or learning a new language in real time.
Input language as a clear button group. Output as multi-select language tokens with color-coded fills. Speaker Diarization and Float Captions controlled via toggle switches. A single high-visibility blue CTA anchors the panel.
The extension floats over YouTube, Zoom, Meet, and Teams without masking video controls or disrupting layout. Tested live on a Chinese lecture to validate multilingual output in context.
Live audio stream captured from the active browser tab.
Azure Speech Translation or Conversation Transcriber routes audio to 16-language output.
Translated text converted back to synthesized audio in target language.
