Is Pronounce: Speech and Pronunciation Checker safe?
Pronounce records microphone audio on any website and streams it to its servers, and sends page domains to Mixpanel.
When a user triggers recording, the extension captures microphone audio via MediaRecorder and streams it in real time over a WebSocket to api.getpronounce.com. After the session ends, recording IDs and conversation data are sent via POST requests to kapi.getpronounce.com. Because the content script runs on all websites, these behaviors can occur on any page the user visits.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Pronounce 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.
