Hello WebKit, Currently, there is some limited support for speech recognition in WebKit, by means of the x-webkit-speech attribute to input elements. We would like to continue the development of this to allow web apps to better utilize the possibilities of speech recognition and text-to-speech synthesis.
In December, Google put forward a proposal [0] for a scripting-only subset of the API that was defined in the Speech XG Incubator Group Final Report [1]. A W3C Community Group is being started to develop the specification [2]. Anyone interested in this is welcome to join once the group is available. In the meantime, the spec proposal is currently hosted at [3]. We would like to start implementing this behind a compile-time flag (ENABLE_SCRIPTED_SPEECH) and vendor prefix. A first patch is uploaded to the bug tracker [4]. Thanks, Hans [0]. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2011OctDec/1696.html [1]. http://www.w3.org/2005/Incubator/htmlspeech/XGR-htmlspeech/ [2]. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2012JanMar/0438.html [3]. http://speech-javascript-api-spec.googlecode.com/git/speechapi.html [4]. https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80019 _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
