Is Live Transcript Extension safe?
Live Transcript Extension includes hardcoded Symbl.ai credentials used to request speech API tokens.
The shipped transcript code contains a Symbl.ai appId and appSecret and a token request to Symbl.ai before opening a realtime transcript connection. In the reviewed version, calls to that transcript function are commented out, so the evidence is the embedded credential flow rather than observed browser traffic.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Live Transcript Extension contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
