Speech Recognition #60

Open vdegenne opened 1 year ago

vdegenne commented 1 year ago

Another aspect of voice-related stuff: at some point I also wanted to create a voice recognition for input of moves. See this WIP branch.

Unfortunately, there's an old issue in Chromium that prevents from using grammars for voice recognition: bug tracker link. As without grammar voice recognition would be pretty much useless in this case, I decided to wait with that at least until the issue is resolved.

Hey! How have you been?

Any update on this? Have you succeed in implementing this?

I am looking forward to implement Speech Recognition in one of my webapp and I remember learning that from you (I didn't know It was possible prior to looking into your project), that's why I am bubbling this back up, I am curious how good does it perform in an actual practical environment.

Hello! Sorry for taking so long to respond.

The project isn't in my top priority now, so I don't put a lot of efforts into its maintenance. It would be nice to have this feature, but I would like to implement it by using native browser capabilities to keep the bundle lean (since it's not the core feature of the functionality). If Chrome maintainers resolved the bug mentioned above it would be easier to manage it.

The voice input would also require redesigning the interface of the extension (to allow users input the moves easily) but that's a smaller problem, not a blocker.
