Add Speech-to-Text Module to Toolbar

[devcodes9]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the Editor Hub doesn't support voice input, which can be a barrier for users who prefer or need to use speech-to-text functionality. Adding this feature would improve accessibility and provide an alternative input method for content creation.

Describe the solution you'd like

Implement a speech-to-text module that can be added to the toolbar. This module should:

1. Allow users to input text by speaking
2. Integrate seamlessly with the existing editor functionality
3. Be customizable and easy to enable/disable

Implementation details

1. Create a new speech-to-text module.
2. Add a new toolbar button for activating speech input.
3. Implement the necessary logic to convert speech to text and insert it into the editor at the current cursor position.
4. Ensure proper error handling and fallbacks for browsers that don't support speech recognition.

Additional context

Adding speech-to-text functionality would significantly enhance the accessibility and usability of the Editor Hub. It would benefit users with mobility impairments, those who prefer voice input, and could potentially increase productivity for all users.

Some considerations for implementation:

• Privacy concerns: Ensure users are aware when the microphone is active
• Localization: Support multiple languages for speech recognition
• Accuracy: Provide a way for users to correct misrecognized text
• Performance: Optimize for minimal impact on editor performance

Possible challenges

1. Browser compatibility: Not all browsers support the Web Speech API

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ] Speech-to-text button added to the toolbar
• [ ] Clicking the button activates speech recognition
• [ ] Recognized speech is inserted into the editor at the cursor position
• [ ] Speech recognition can be stopped by clicking the button again
• [ ] Error messages are displayed for unsupported browsers or recognition errors
• [ ] Documentation is updated to include usage instructions for the new module
