"website says: network" ??? Doesn't work at all

not working on linux vivaldi, the screen keeps flickering, the microphone keeps turning on and off a few times per second

Отлично: Сам распознаёт язык, переводит достаточно точно Не отлично: Не переводит ключевые слова "запятая", "точка", "знак вопроса" и так далее в соответствующие символы. Хорошо-бы: Чтобы раширение писало текст по мере произошения а не ждало пока я закончу говорить, не видно прогресса перевода в текст.
