The Problem With Stream CC

Stream CC requires Chrome to function because it relies on Chrome's built-in Web Speech API for speech recognition. Firefox, Edge, Safari, and Brave do not support this API, so Stream CC simply does not work on those browsers.

This is a fundamental architectural limitation — Stream CC cannot fix it without rebuilding their entire transcription system.

StreamTranslate Works on Any Browser

StreamTranslate uses Deepgram Nova-2 for speech recognition — a cloud-based API that works regardless of which browser you're using. Whether you're on Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or Brave, StreamTranslate works identically.

Other Advantages Over Stream CC

Beyond browser support, StreamTranslate offers more languages (28+ vs Stream CC's ~10), better accuracy (Deepgram vs Web Speech API), and dual-language output on Pro and Unlimited plans. Pricing starts at $9.99 for a Stream Pass or $14.99/month for Starter.
