Livelines X is a Chrome/Brave extension that shows live captions and optional translation on the video tab you choose.
What we collect
The publisher does not run a server that stores your data. Settings stay on your computer via Chrome’s storage.
What the extension processes
• Tab audio — if you start captions on a tab, that tab’s sound is processed to create text.
• Microphone audio — only if you choose microphone mode and allow it.
• Caption text — shown on your screen. If translation is on, that text is sent to a translation service (Google Translate or MyMemory).
• Optional Groq API key — stored only on this device. If you pick Groq, short audio clips go to Groq for transcription. We do not receive that audio.
• On-device models — Moonshine/Whisper may download model files from Hugging Face to your device.
What we do not do
We do not sell your data, use it for ads, credit scoring, or lending. We do not collect your name, passwords, or a list of every site you visit. The overlay appears after you click the extension icon; we do not scrape the web in the background.
Third parties (only if you use the feature)
• Groq — Groq caption model: audio for transcription.
• Hugging Face — local speech models: model downloads.
• Google Translate / MyMemory — translation: caption text.
Your choices
Use local models only to keep audio on the device (except translation if enabled). Don’t save a Groq key if you don’t want cloud transcription. Uninstall the extension or clear its site data to remove the key and settings.
