User reviews

This is promising extension but I am giving ★★★☆☆ as of today as it has some serious issues that makes it hardly usable in real life scenarios. First, it sometimes saves empty file. I yet need to figure out what is the cause but definitely there's a problem. Second, when it works it saves all the captions captured BUT it does not save any names, so if you got multiple participants (which is usually the purpose of meeting) the saved file is just a big wall of text and you got no idea who said what, which is problematic because you will i.e. have to manually annotate it (based on saved audio whatever). So in general it is a good start but I'd love to have these two things addressed.

It didn't work. Downloaded caption files are always empty. I did enable captions beforehand.
