Transcript multiple language

[ramthenmala]

Hi,

first of all great to this react plugin. I would like to have an option to choose language from dropdown and according to that the transcription should work. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance

Hi @webbieram React Speech Recognition will inject a prop into your component called recognition (see this). You can set the language used by Speech Recognition by assigning a language value to the lang property on this object. This value must be a valid BCP 47 language tag (as required here).

You could do the following:

• Have a dropdown with labels for different languages
• Each label would have a language tag value behind it. For example, Chinese would have language tag zh-CN
• Whenever the selected value of this dropdown changes, assign the selected language tag to recognition.lang
