Mozilla Firefox? #2

Open dorian-b opened 2 years ago

Any chance this would be available for Mozilla Firefox soon? Maybe if some code is added?

Speech recognition in the Web Speech API is not current supported by Firefox.

There are other ways to add speech recognition to applications in Firefox, but they require a back-end service that you likely have to pay for, like this one using Azure, this other Azure example, and this one by Speechly. I haven't tested any of those projects recently, so can't make a recommendation, but they are out there.

As a further note, Firefox did work on adding Web Speech support and you may be able to still flip the flag and enable that support, but it is yet to be available by default.
