Specification
https://webaudio.github.io/web-speech-api


Summary

This feature adds on-device speech recognition support to the Web Speech API, 
allowing websites to ensure that neither audio nor transcribed speech are sent 
to a third-party service for processing. Websites can query the availability of 
on-device speech recognition for specific languages, prompt users to install 
the necessary resources for on-device speech recognition, and choose between 
on-device or cloud-based speech recognition as needed.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
