What does sayit's browser extension actually do, and where does it work?

sayit's browser extension puts the whole practice loop — hear a sentence, say it back, see exactly which sounds to fix — on top of any page you're already reading, so you never have to break away to a separate app to turn something you're reading into something you practice out loud. Select a sentence, and a small toolbar appears right above it; nothing else on the page moves.

30-second version: Highlight text on any article, doc, or email, and a toolbar offers to play it or let you record yourself saying it. Recording gets you a score, the exact phonemes that slipped, and a plain-English respelling with the stressed syllable capitalized. Word-by-word verdicts appear underlined right in the page. On video calls (Meet, Zoom, Teams) it can also sit through a meeting and hand you a recap of your pace, filler count, and talk time afterward. It's free, works in any Chromium browser, and does nothing until you select text.

How do I actually use it on a page?

Select a sentence the normal way — highlight it with your mouse or keyboard — and a small toolbar appears directly above the selection. From there you can hear it read aloud at full speed or slowed down, or hit record (or the Alt+S shortcut) to say it yourself. Nothing else about the page shifts or reflows; the toolbar is the only thing that changes.

What do I get back after I record?

The same kind of detail a take in the main app gives you: a score, the specific sounds that slipped shown as IPA against the target, and a plain-language respelling with the stressed syllable in capitals, so you don't need to read IPA to act on the feedback. The words you said also get underlined right in the page itself — solid for clean, dotted for unclear, wavy for the ones worth redoing — so you can see your own results laid over the actual text you were reading.

What's the "meeting recap" feature?

On Google Meet, Zoom, and Teams, the extension can sit through a call and hand you a recap afterward: your pace, how many filler words you used, your talk time, and the phrases worth drilling. It's a passive, after-the-fact summary rather than live in-call feedback — useful for noticing patterns in how you actually speak under real conversational pressure, not just in deliberate practice.

Does it work everywhere, or are some sites excluded?

Google Docs and Gmail are excluded out of the box, and you can mute the extension entirely on any site you'd rather it never touch. Outside of that, it works on ordinary web pages — articles, blogs, documentation, anywhere there's text to select.

Which browsers actually support it?

Any browser built on Chromium: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and Arc. It installs from the Chrome Web Store, and in Edge specifically you're asked once to allow extensions from other stores — a one-time prompt, not a sign anything's wrong.

Is my progress separate from the main app, or shared?

Shared — the extension uses the same account as the web app, so your streak, your saved takes, and your weakest sounds carry over regardless of where you practice. Every take you make through the extension also syncs to your library, so "see full analysis" from the popup opens the complete breakdown in Studio, audio included.
