It may be possible to support Safari and iOS

http://caniuse.com/#feat=web-speech says no

but there is Apple browser support

https://developer.apple.com/library/safari/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/Using_HTML5_Audio_Video/PlayingandSynthesizingSounds/PlayingandSynthesizingSounds.html

and this answer on Stack suggests so..

Both of the links you pointed out are from the Web Audio API which is different from the Web Speech API. Once, Safari land it we'll be able to use it on iOS and so on :)
