$5, once
Add OPA to Chrome.
One button. About five minutes. Adding it is free. A key to make a claim costs $5, once, and you can buy it afterwards.
This opens the Chrome Web Store, which is Google's own page. Press Add to Chrome there, then Add extension when Chrome asks. Nothing is charged for that.
Five minutes
What you need
- Google Chrome, version 116 or newer, on a Windows computer or a Mac. Not Edge, Firefox or Safari. Not a phone or a tablet yet.
- A microphone. The one built into a laptop is fine. You can type to OPA instead of speaking. That always works.
- About five minutes, once.

$5, once
Then get your key
OPA needs a key before it can make a claim. One key covers one claim, including stopping partway and starting again. There is nothing to cancel and nothing that renews.
That opens Stripe, which is the company that handles the card. We never see your card number. Nothing is charged until you press the pay button there.
When you have paid, Stripe brings you straight back to us and OPA picks the key up by itself. If you have not added OPA yet, that page waits for you and finishes as soon as you do.
If something goes wrong
- The panel did not appear.
- Reload the page. The panel cannot open on Chrome's own pages, such as chrome://extensions and the Web Store. Those are closed to every extension, not just this one.
- It says the key is not set.
- Click the OPA button, then Settings, and check the key is in the box. It is stored in your own browser, so it does not follow you to another computer. Put it in again there.
- I have lost my key.
- Open the link Stripe sent you to after you paid. It is in your browser history, under getopa.app. That page shows your key again, as many times as you need. If it has really gone, email us. We cannot look your key up, because we never keep a copy, but we can issue you a new one.
- It cannot hear me.
- Chrome asks to use your microphone the first time. If that was declined, click the icon at the left-hand end of the address bar, allow it, then reload. You can always type instead.
- It stopped in the middle and handed the page back.
- That is usually right, not a fault. OPA stops on purpose at passwords, security codes, document uploads and digital ID sign-ins. See what OPA will never do. It tells you what it needs and waits.
- Something else.
- Press Stop, then email us and say what happened. A person will reply, and nothing was submitted.
Nothing left behind
Removing OPA
Go to chrome://extensions and press Remove. Nothing of yours is left behind. The key goes with the extension, and OPA never stored anything else. See the privacy page.
