Show HN: I made a free web alternative of Screen Studio

34 points by xviniette 2y ago

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?

      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?

Browser compatibilities seem to be an issue as of right now.
- xviniette 2y ago
  Yeah it should works well on Chrome. There is still some issues on Safari.

I also created something web-based last year called ScreenRun https://screenrun.app https://screenrun.app It really works best in Chromium-based browser which have WebCodecs.

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
