The latest news from the Google Chrome team
Bringing voice recognition to the web
Thursday, February 21, 2013
Web apps, listen up. Today's
Chrome Stable
release includes support for the
Web Speech API
(discussed
last month
), which developers can use to integrate speech recognition capabilities into their web apps. To see what this might look like, check out
this demo
on how to compose an email just using your voice.
In addition, today’s release also
disables silent extension installs
in Chrome for Windows. This keeps Chrome fast and safe by ensuring that you consent to every extension that’s installed on your computer.
Thanks to
auto-update
, you’ll get these enhancements as we roll out the release. And if you don’t have Chrome yet, you can give it a spin
here
.
