Our verdict

Tongyi Tingwu, built on Alibaba's Qwen models, records any Chrome tab in real time, transcribing speech, translating subtitles and generating summaries for online classes, meetings or shows. A separate reading assistant mode lets you select webpage or PDF text to translate, interpret or question, plus one-click speed-reading of documents. Full results like transcripts, chapter overviews and mind maps only show up on Tongyi's own website rather than inside the extension itself, and a 3.1-star average from 125 ratings points to a mixed reception.
