TransKit - Power Inline Translate Kit

TransKit is a Chrome extension that brings instant, AI-powered translation directly to your input fields. No more switching tabs or copy-pasting - just type, command, and translate. What's new in v1.2.2? Enhanced Text-to-Speech (TTS) • New TTS Configuration Tab: A dedicated tab in the popup allows you to manage TTS providers. • Custom TTS Providers: You can now add your own TTS services using custom URL templates, giving you more flexibility beyond the default Google TTS. • Improved UI: The speaker icon now features a modern sound wave animation during playback, replacing the previous spinner. • New: Line-by-Line Translation - Default granularity changed from "block" to "line" for more precise hover translations. • New: Smart Boundary Detection - Intelligent detection of message boundaries on chat platforms (Discord, Slack, Telegram). No more accidentally selecting entire conversations.
