The links supporting the browser Gecko and WebKit signals do not seem strongly indicative of a current positive position. https://github.com/WICG/speech-api/pull/118 from 2014 was resolved WONTFIX and skimming through https://github.com/WICG/speech-api/issues/66 the issue did not appear to reach any strong resolution. I think it would make sense to request formal positions<https://bit.ly/blink-signals> to try to get a clearer picture.

The Web Speech API is a web standard API that allows developers to incorporate speech recognition and synthesis into their web pages. Currently, the Web Speech API uses the user's default microphone as the audio input. MediaStreamTrack support allows websites to use the Web Speech API to caption other sources of audio including remote audio tracks.

None Debuggability None Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)? No Initially supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux with ChromeOS support to follow. Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>? No Flag name on about://flags None Finch feature name MediaStreamTrackWebSpeech Requires code in //chrome? False Estimated milestones Shipping on desktop 133 Anticipated spec changes Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way). Spec changes will be made to the Web Speech API spec after the spec repo migrates over to the Audio Community Group.
