My Speech Rec in the Browser Slides

I was able to do my presentation on speech rec in the browser at last nights Ottawa JS meeting. The slides/code for the talk have been posted up to my Ottawa-JavaScript-SpeechRec github repo. Honestly, it is a pretty light talk but that was its intention as it was going to be an amuse-bouche before heading off on holidays.

In order for you to run the question/answer part of the code you'll need to get a product key from Wolfram Alpha. Then go into index.html and find all instances of <INSERT WOLFRAM ALPHA KEY> and replace them with your api key.

Also, David grabbed a pretty good picture of me contemplating life, the universe and everything in-between right after my talk. I think it is just begging for a funny caption.


Do your worst, or best, internets.

    Hi Simon, This Blog is very informative. How can I implement the the same thing as Mobile Web Application for Android Browser and Apple IOS Safari Browser? Any kind of suggestions are appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Kaushik

    Currently neither of the mobile browsers (Android, iOS) support this type of speech interface. However, I'm working on a PhoneGap plugin that follows the WebSpeech API spec from the W3C. I plan to launch it in July at PhoneGap Day 2013. So, it wont work in the browser but you will be able to do hybrid apps with speech.
