Sorry, is there a how-to or a loom to look at on how to get this to work? I have the Mac Whisper and I'm dying to have something like this to work, but this doesn't work at all by pressing the button and none of it. So if you could do a walkthrough, that would be great for the obtuse learners like me. I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

I havent been able to get the extension itself to work. I've entered my API key and allowed it to access my mic. When I click the mic button nothing happens at all. Uninstalled and reinstalled both on edge and chrome with no luck. I used the desktop app and it works. But id love to use the extension.
