@ms10398 How are you planning to implement this?

[ms10398]

I am thinking to use Webspeech API

[tstreamDOTh]

@ms10398 Web speech API is in an experimental stage. It is not advised to use it. Find out if there is a better way or else we can put this on hold for a while.

[ms10398]

Can you suggest any other better way @tstreamDOTh

[tstreamDOTh]

@ms10398 We are talking about web speech API for firefox and not chrome. Even I didn't find any appropriate resource to deal this. Anyway if you can implement it bugfree go ahead.

[ms10398]

Okay I will try to implement it @tstreamDOTh

Hi @tstreamDOTh. What is the status of this issue?

[ms10398]

@harshit98 I am trying to implement it will try to produce the results soon

[harshit98]

Ok. @ms10398 If you face any difficulties, please let the co-developers know. :)

[ms10398]

Yes sure @harshit98

[tstreamDOTh]

@ms10398 Any updates?

[ms10398]

Sorry I couldn't put in that much time coz of exams will post the update soon as now exams are over.
And I was looking into the issue #40

[tstreamDOTh]

@ms10398 If this is not feasible we can drop this. Text to speech can be implemented but speech to text through extension doesn't seem feasible.

[tstreamDOTh]

@ms10398 I checked how it is implemented in susi_chromebot. There are bugs in it and there is a scope for improvement in it. Let us see how this can be done. Also look for alternatives for firefox.

[tstreamDOTh]

@harshit98 Any feedback or suggestions?

[ms10398]

Yes I agree @tstreamDOTh I am seeing all options and will try to implement the best I can make out.

[harshit98]

@tstreamDOTh I will check if something can be done on this.

[harshit98]

@tstreamDOTh @ms10398 I tried to replicate the feature as it is implemented in susi_chromebot. Currently, I'm observing microphone is not working even in susi_chromebot. I'm getting this error:

You guys can refer Susper files where STT is working fine.

• speech-to-text component
• speech-to-text file which enables the feature

I found this issue related web-speech-api : webkitSpeechRecognition is not defined

[ms10398]

You should check again @harshit98 It works in susi chromebot

[gabru-md]

@harshit98 please check once again. The microphone in susi_chromebot seems to be working.

This is a GCI task. Anyone participating in GCI can take this up.
