Hello HN,

I've always found Screen Studio recordings superb.

Unfortunately I'm not on a Mac, so I've developed my own tool that works in the browser for all OS.

I hope you'll find it useful, and I'd be delighted to hear your feedback.

I could not figure out how to use it: - How I can stop recording? - Where output file is located?

+1 does not seems to work. For me its showing stop button but nothing happens if i click on it.

Thanks your for your feedback. What browser are you on ?

Firefox, v130, Linux

I'm on FF 131 on Mac 14.7 and experienced the same thing. Browser permissions were allowed successfully, and browser restarted.

The output file is in your download folder. If not, can you tell me what browser you're on?

This is very impressive. Is the playback frame accurate? What are you using to retrieve the sub titles?

Thanks !

For the subtitles i use the speech recognition JS native api.

It's not the use cases, but it works pretty well

I also created something web-based last year called ScreenRun https://screenrun.app

It really works best in Chromium-based browser which have WebCodecs.

Nice job dude! The app works well.

Thanks you !

Browser compatibilities seem to be an issue as of right now.

Yeah it should works well on Chrome. There is still some issues on Safari.

I also have trouble saving the video. Getting the below error:
