I built a Chrome extension with one feature that transcribes audio to text in the browser using huggingface/transformers.js running the OpenAI Whisper model with WebGPU. It works perfect! Here is a list of examples of all the things you can do in the browser with webgpu for free. [0]

The last thing in the world I want to do is listen or watch presidential social media posts, but, on the other hand, sometimes enormously stupid things are said which move the SP500 up or down $60 in a session. So this feature queries for new posts every minute, does ORC image to text and transcribe video audio to text locally, sends the post with text for analysis, all in the background inside a Chrome extension before notify me of anything economically significant.
