MetricWeb: Chrome Add-on for Imperial to Metric Conversion
MetricWeb is a free Chrome add-on developed by alex.githatu that allows users to easily convert imperial measurements into metric units while watching YouTube videos. With MetricWeb, users can convert feet into meters by simply clicking on the MetricWeb button, which then displays the metric conversion as a caption.
The add-on rounds the metric conversion to two significant digits for quick reading. For example, 4 feet would convert to 1.2 meters, while 420 feet would convert to 130 meters. This makes it convenient for users to quickly understand the metric equivalent of the imperial measurements mentioned in the video.
Additionally, MetricWeb offers support for other conversions such as inch to centimeter, mile to kilometer, pound to kilogram, ounce to gram, Fahrenheit to Celsius, and gallon to liter. This comprehensive range of conversions ensures that users can easily understand and work with different units of measurement while watching YouTube videos.
MetricWeb also provides a unique feature where each time the MetricWeb button is clicked, two minutes of the video are transcribed into metric units. This allows users to transcribe up to 10 minutes of a video into metric measurements, making it easier to follow along with the content.
Overall, MetricWeb is a valuable tool for anyone who frequently encounters imperial measurements on YouTube videos and needs a quick and convenient way to convert them to metric units. With its user-friendly interface and extensive conversion support, MetricWeb simplifies the process of working with different units of measurement while watching videos.
