Is Speech to Text (Voice Recognition) safe?
Speech to Text downloads Whisper AI model files from huggingface.co without integrity verification.
The extension provides in-browser speech recognition by fetching ONNX model files (encoder_model.onnx, decoder_model_merged.onnx) from huggingface.co at runtime using the transformers.js library. No version pin or subresource integrity hash is specified, so the models served by huggingface.co could change between sessions. Downloaded models are cached in the browser after the initial fetch.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed Speech to Text 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.
