As of October 11th, the Emerging Technologies Team intend to turn "Web Speech API" on by default in *Nightly only* on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It has been developed behind the "media.webspeech.recognition.*" and "media.webspeech.synth" preference.
Other UAs shipping this or intending to ship it are Chrome, and Safari (speech synth only, not recognition). Bug to turn on by default: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1244237 This feature was previously discussed in this "Intent to prototype" thread: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/mozilla.dev.platform/uM3NzS3hKkk/KsWBbf0BRIEJ What's new since 2014?: - The updated implementation more closely aligns with Chrome's implementation - meaning we get better interop across significant sites. - adds the ability to do speech recognition on a media stream. - speech is processed in our cloud servers, not on device. _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
