Browser Compatibility

Section titled “Browser Compatibility”

Chrome browser is required. Stream Audio relies on Chrome’s tab audio capture API to capture audio from other browser tabs. Other browsers do not support this capability.

Technical Details

Section titled “Technical Details”

Stream Audio combines your microphone input and the selected tab’s audio into a stereo (two-channel) audio stream. Your microphone is assigned to one channel while the tab audio is assigned to the other, enabling speaker attribution during transcription. The combined stream is sent via WebSocket to the Fargate-based transcription server for real-time processing.
