📲 Install an iSpeak Browser Extension

Live translation into Hmong & 100+ languages, right in Chrome.

💡 Pick only what you want — you don't need all three. Each one installs the same way; the steps below work for whichever you downloaded.

① Get your iSpeak API key required

The extensions are free to install, but they need an iSpeak / Paj Hlub API key to translate and speak.

  1. Go to silverfamilytree.com/pajhlub-audio.html and choose a plan (a free tier is available).
  2. You'll receive a key that looks like sft_live_xxxxxxxx… — keep it private. One key works in all of the iSpeak extensions.

② Install it in Chrome

These aren't on the Chrome Web Store yet, so you load the one you chose yourself — about a minute:

  1. Download the extension's .zip from the home page (just the one you want), and unzip it — remember where the folder lands.
  2. In Chrome, open chrome://extensions
  3. Turn on Developer mode (toggle, top-right).
  4. Click Load unpacked → select the unzipped folder.
  5. The black-and-white icon appears — click the puzzle-piece 🧩 and pin it. (Repeat only if you want another one.)
Chrome may say it "isn't from the Web Store" — that's normal for a direct install. Set your key once via the 🔑 in the panel; close any panel with the ✕.

③ Use the one you installed

🎬 iSpeakMovieDub — YouTube, Netflix & Amazon Prime

  1. Open something with subtitles available — a YouTube video with real captions (e.g. TED talks), or a movie/show on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video.
  2. Click the pinned iSpeakMovieDub icon → its panel opens. Click 🔑 to paste your key (once).
  3. Turn subtitles/CC ON — on Netflix/Prime, pick the English subtitle track (it reads them to translate) — then pick your language and click 🔊 Active.
Netflix & Prime are DRM-protected, so iSpeakMovieDub reads the on-screen subtitles (it can't hear the movie) — they must be turned on. It then speaks your language over the show and shows the translated text on screen.

📰 iSpeakArticle — any article

  1. Open any article, click the pinned iSpeakArticle icon → its panel opens. Click 🔑 to paste your key (once).
  2. Pick your language, click 📖 Click-to-Read, then tap any paragraph — it reads aloud from there.

🎧 iSpeakPodcastDub — any playing audio

  1. Open a page with a playing podcast/audio, click the pinned iSpeakPodcastDub icon → a popup opens (Chrome requires tab-audio capture to start here). Paste your key there.
  2. Pick your language and click Start — a bar appears while it dubs. Click its ✕ to stop.
