No mouse, no searching for the mic button — double-tap again to turn it off. Holding Ctrl for other shortcuts (like Ctrl+C) won't trigger it.
Stops recording, selects the source text and copies it to the clipboard in one keystroke — ready to paste anywhere.
Use any key combination, or a double-tap of any Ctrl / Alt / Shift / Win key. Reset to defaults in one click.

One-click install from the Chrome Web Store. No sign-up, no login.
Allow microphone access the first time. A blue mic badge in the top-right corner means it's active.

No account, no credits, no subscription and no usage limits.
We don't record audio or access your microphone. Google Translate itself handles recording and recognition — the extension just presses its mic button for you.
We don't collect or send any data. Your shortcut and language settings stay in your own Chrome.
It only runs on Google Translate and never reads content from other sites.
After installing, open Google Translate and try double-tapping Left Ctrl.
