Overline is a Chrome extension that adds real-time AI captions and live translation on top of any browser video, no subtitles needed, no tab switching. Works on YouTube, Netflix, Twitch, Zoom, or any tab. Sub-second latency. Translation is optional and per-session. No page injection, no file uploads, pure live audio streaming.
Hey PH! Mehdi here, builder of Overline.
The idea came from watching live news coverage with human interpreters doing real-time translation. They miss things, they slow down, and they're not available on a random YouTube video at 11pm. I thought this should be a solved problem, so I built it.
The hardest part was latency. Most transcription tools batch audio into chunks and upload them, you get a 5–10 second lag. Overline streams audio directly so captions appear as words are spoken.
It's been on the Chrome Store for a few weeks, ~2,000 users so far. Happy to answer anything. And if something breaks, tell me here, I'll fix it fast. :)
Real use case for this - built an AI film for a product called Dreams of Yesterday that deliberately has no subtitles during a key flashback sequence. The decision was intentional — wanted the disorientation. But for accessibility and multilingual families watching together, real-time captions without modifying the video file would be exactly right. Curious how Overline handles videos with mixed dialogue and silence — does caption accuracy drop when audio is sparse or ambient rather than continuous speech?
