Pense que solo era yo. una lastima que ya no este

by Tuna Marina Barbosa Tuna Marina Barbosa, 2024-04-01

A fantastic add-on that makes great use of the Google Meet captions functionality, giving me the opportunity to review the transcript of any meetings I've attended, after the event! I really like the way you can set the captions to not be visible, as I find this very distracting. Also, the developer has been very responsive and quick to fix any issues that came up! It would be preferable if it didn't default to the Cambria typeface (Verdana would seem to be the best option within Google docs - still has serifs on a capital 'i', but is otherwise a low-detail font), but it's not a huge issue to select all and then change the font manually.
