Extension summary

Analyze keywords

⏩ Skips (or fast-forwards) silent parts in videos in real time and completely automatically.

🌐 Supports YouTube, Coursera, Twitch, local files, and (almost) any other website.

Useful for watching 👨‍🏫 lectures,🔴 stream recordings (VODs), 🎙️ podcasts, webinars, 📞 call & audio recordings, and other unedited videos where the speakers spend a portion of time on things other than talking. But even if the video is tightly packed, it can also save a bit of time, so it's generally fine to keep it always on.

🕵️🚫 Fully offline and local. Does not track you or send your data anywhere.

🔃 Easy to turn on and off, without having to reload the page (it's there to save time after all!).

⚙️ Has a lot of different settings, but generally you won't have to constantly tune them or touch them at all.

⌨️ Has a lot of handy shortcuts (hotkeys): control video playback and extension settings without using a mouse (or eyes).
