I have no idea what is going on, am I suppose to just speak to the page? Because it does nothing (safari)

EDIT: apparently visiting https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html it tells me safari is not supported :(

Why are these cool things never in Firefox? As I don't use Chrome I often run into demos that don't work.



The Web Speech API in Chrome is implemented by calling Google Speech Recognition APIs. Firefox would have to pay for an API key to use the same service.

There has been some work for client-side speech recognition in browsers though, for example: http://syl22-00.github.io/pocketsphinx.js


Yet the project itself indicates it works in safari... :/
