- [1] Speech recognition interfaces are currently prefixed on Chrome, so you'll need to prefix interface names appropriately, e.g.
webkitSpeechRecognition
; You'll also need to serve your code through a web server for recognition to work. - [2] Can be enabled via the
media.webspeech.recognition.enable
flag in about:config, although note that currently speech recognition won't work on Desktop Firefox — it will be properly exposed soon, once the required internal permissions are sorted out.
Firefox OS permissions
To use speech recognition in an app, you need to specify the following permissions in your manifest:
"permissions": { "audio-capture" : { "description" : "Audio capture" }, "speech-recognition" : { "description" : "Speech recognition" } }
You also need a privileged app, so you need to include this as well:
"type": "privileged"
