If you discover more options for the API, let me know in the comments below. If you're spending you're entire computing time in the browser, as you will be in Chrome OS, and using the keyboard isn't easy for you, then having on-demand speech-to-command options are a must. What this likely will be extremely useful for is accessibility within the upcoming Google Chrome OS. Also annoying is that the feature has trouble distinguishing between audio playback from the computer and your voice. You might as well just click the pause button yourself. Unfortunately, having to click the microphone for every input is a bit of a pain. But this certainly gives a strong indication of what the API is capable of. This isn't an official implementation, since that would appear on the YouTube site. To pause it, click and say "stop." To resume, click and say "play."

So: Set Google Translate to English, then click the microphone that appears in the lower right-hand corner of the input box. One other hitch is that because this is a brand-new feature, it's also limited at present in Google Translate to translations originating in English. Expect that to change as site developers begin to implement the feature.
Currently, that's limited to Google Translate, which itself is limited to translations that originate in English. Next, you have to navigate to a site that supports the new speech API.
It shows the user some informative messages and swaps the GIF image on the microphone button.First off, be sure that you're using Google Chrome 11 ( download for Windows | Mac | Linux)or later, and that you've got a microphone. With the demo below, you can use Google Chrome as a voice recognition app and type long documents, emails and school essays without touching the keyboard.
That’s it! The rest of the code is just to enhance user experience. Since 2013, when Google Chrome released version 25, the support of Web Speech API opened up a whole new world of opportunities for web apps to convert voice to text. if ( 'webkitSpeechRecognition' in window) ) You can tell whether the browser supports the Web Speech API by checking if the webkitSpeechRecognition object exists. Click on our extension icon Click on the Microphone icon and give permission for microphone.
Install the software extension Speech to Text. As you can see above, Chrome is the major browser that supports speech to text API, using Google’s speech recognition engines. To begin using this software, here is what you need to do.
