Web Speech API Support

[Jeriff]

Please add support for https://webaudio.github.io/web-speech-api/

Chrome based browsers all support it.

Speech recognition in local browser.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

It needs very strict permission control since it will access the microphone. I would even argue that it needs to be opt-in so it's not abused

Why is the Retrosheet website always misaligned when I use firefox, but not for other browsers?

Thanks for any help on this,

@flaqueman All Chrome-based browsers support that, that's 85% population. I don't think they have problems with it.

Of course it's fine for them... They're using Chrome, so clearly they don't care about privacy. Firefox users on the other hand do care about that and that's why it requires more privacy preserving features

I would only be fine with something that runs locally on the device making any calls out and if it does not use up the memory and CPU. I personally have no use for such a feature even then but some may need something like I describe.
