Audio player for ChatGPT

The core fix is a real play/pause button for ChatGPT's audio. Where Read Aloud once left you with a start-and-stop toggle, the extension hands you the browser's own control set, so pausing actually holds your position. That matters most on long answers, where stopping to write a note used to mean starting the clip over.

The seek bar lets you drag to any point in the clip. You can jump to the part you care about, skip a tangent, or move back a few seconds to catch a sentence you missed. ChatGPT's default player has no equivalent, so any mid-clip navigation meant waiting or restarting.

A running duration shows how far into the audio you are and how much is left. That turns an open-ended listen into something you can plan around. You can decide to sit through a full answer or move on. It's the small readout most audio players take for granted.

Instead of building a custom player, the extension switches on the audio element's native controls and positions them next to ChatGPT's Share button. The result is a familiar interface rather than a new one to learn, and the code stays light. The developer keeps it this thin on purpose, so the script is short enough to paste into a userscript manager.

You can install it from the Chrome Web Store, or copy the content script into Tampermonkey or Violentmonkey. The userscript route suits people who already manage scripts that way or want to read the code before running it. Same behavior either way, since both load the same standalone script.

The extension checks whether the tab is active, then checks for a playing audio element, and only then does anything. It doesn't touch your conversations or send data anywhere, and the store listing states the developer collects no data and doesn't sell it. For an add-on that runs on your chat screen, that restraint is the point.
