What the Revoldiv Chrome Extension Does

Updated

The Revoldiv Chrome extension captures media directly from the page you're browsing and sends supported files straight to Revoldiv, so you can transcribe something you found online without downloading it first and re-uploading it manually. It's a shortcut into the same transcript-based workflow you get from the main upload box on revoldiv.com — useful when the audio or video you want to work with lives on a web page rather than on your device.

How it fits into the Revoldiv workflow

Revoldiv's core idea is that the transcript is the editor. You transcribe audio or video, then edit the recording by editing the words: fix a word to fix the audio, search for any word to jump to that moment, and clean up filler words like "um" and "uh." Exports include audiogram, MP3, TXT, SRT, and more.

The extension slots in at the capture step of that pipeline:

Step Without the extension With the extension
Get the media Download the file, then upload it on revoldiv.com Capture it from the page and send it to Revoldiv
Transcribe Upload via the drop zone or file picker Same transcription step, reached from the browser
Edit Edit through the transcript Same
Export/share Audiogram, MP3, TXT, SRT, etc. Same

In short, the extension changes how the file arrives, not what you can do with it afterward.

What it's good for

  • Media you encounter while browsing — a podcast episode, an interview clip, or a recording embedded on a page. Instead of saving it locally first, you capture and send it in one motion.
  • Staying in the browser — the extension is described as capturing media "without leaving the page," which suits quick capture-and-transcribe tasks rather than a full editing session.
  • Feeding the transcript editor — once the media reaches Revoldiv, you get the same word-level timing and transcript editing described on the site.

Limits to keep in mind

The main upload workflow on revoldiv.com states support for files up to 300 MB and 2 hours long. The site's extension description doesn't publish separate size or length limits, so treat the 300 MB / 2-hour figures as the known boundary for uploads and check the extension's own behavior if you're capturing something unusually large.

The extension is described as sending "supported media" — the site doesn't enumerate which formats the extension handles, so if a particular file type doesn't come through, fall back to downloading it and using the standard upload box.

When to use which

  • Use the extension when the media is already on a web page and you want to skip the download-and-upload loop.
  • Use the upload box on revoldiv.com when the file is on your device, when you're near the 300 MB / 2-hour ceiling, or when the extension doesn't recognize the format.

Either way, you land in the same place: a transcript you can edit word by word, search, and export as audiogram, MP3, TXT, SRT, or other formats.
