Open **Microsoft Edge 134.0.3124.51 (Official build) (64-bit)**. 2. Go to [[Google's Speech Recognition Demo](https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html)](https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html). 3. Click **Start** and try speaking into the microphone. 4. Observe that the speech recognition fails with a network error. #### **Expected Behavior:** The **webkitSpeechRecognition** API should transcribe spoken input as it did in previous versions of Edge. #### **Additional Information:** - The issue does **not** occur in older versions of Edge or other browsers (e.g., Chrome).
