Overview

Purpose

Chrome, Edge, Safari and Opera support a form of this API currently for Speech-to-text, which means sites that rely on it work in those browsers, but not in Firefox. As speech input becomes more prevalent, it helps developers to have a consistent way to implement it on the web. It helps users because they will be able to take advantage of speech-enabled web experiences on any browser they choose. We can also offer a more private speech experience, as we do not keep identifiable information along with users’ audio recordings.
