If a forum dedicated to web-kit development is not the proper place to ask a 
question about whether anyone has heard of a major vendor's support for a 
ground-breaking new web-kit spec, exactly where should this be asked?

This email from Chris that was attached to this 
post<https://lists.webkit.org/pipermail/webkit-dev/2013-January/023309.html> 
earlier in the year, is the ONLY thing I can find on the web regarding Apple's 
support of the speech API, which is very surprising to me.  Does anyone have 
any knowledge of whether or not Apple is planning to support this spec for 
Safari, specifically on mobile, and if so, when?  Now that this is a W3C spec, 
and Chrome has added support for it, Apple is seriously missing the boat on 
this.  As a developer of mobile optimized sites for large retail brands, we see 
speech to text as a game changer for the mobile web.  Very interested to know 
if this is even on Apple's radar…and if not, why not?

Thanks for any and all feed back on this topic.

First of all, webkit-dev is not an appropriate forum for discussing any 
vendor’s product plans. In addition to that, Apple doesn’t comment on 
unannounced products and features.
