This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The SpeechRecognitionResultList
interface of the Web Speech API represents a list of SpeechRecognitionResult
objects, or a single one if results are being captured in continuous
mode.
SpeechRecognitionResultList.length

SpeechRecognitionResult
objects in the list.SpeechRecognitionResultList.item
SpeechRecognitionResult
objects in the list to be accessed via array syntax.This code is excerpted from our Speech color changer example.
recognition.onresult = function(event) { // The SpeechRecognitionEvent results property returns a SpeechRecognitionResultList object // The SpeechRecognitionResultList object contains SpeechRecognitionResult objects. // It has a getter so it can be accessed like an array // The first [0] returns the SpeechRecognitionResult at position 0. // Each SpeechRecognitionResult object contains SpeechRecognitionAlternative objects that contain individual results. // These also have getters so they can be accessed like arrays. // The second [0] returns the SpeechRecognitionAlternative at position 0. // We then return the transcript property of the SpeechRecognitionAlternative object var color = event.results[0][0].transcript; diagnostic.textContent = 'Result received: ' + color + '.'; bg.style.backgroundColor = color; }

; You'll also need to serve your code through a web server for recognition to work.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.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"
