My goal is to create a docker image with all necessary dependencies deployable with WebSocket endpoint exposed. Similar Watson S2T demo (https://speech-to-text-demo.mybluemix.net) which utilizes WS.

This is after I struggled to find anything in usable form on GitHub and Google Cloud pricing is prohibitive for my free projects. Perhaps there has been progress?

web speech recognition API in Chrome

I looked at this last year (See my comments 8-12 months back) and it seems either Google or Chromium dev team removed recognition.speechURI . It was there in Chrome however later removed. Would have been really helpful to just switch out provider from the browsers default to an alternative perhaps cheaper or free option. I don't know enough about the decision behind this, or if it was actually working in the first place. To be fair the whole "SpeechRecognition" is still in draft. See: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SpeechRecog...

End goal is to easily provide ASR/S2T through WebSockets. The uses and possibilities I have thought out just myself are many and I am sure it will be of use to others.

Yes. But accuracy is probably something Google is winning on here. If your app is browser based, unless my assumption is incorrect you do not need an API key therefore are not bound by quota limits/costs.




Thanks for expanding! Yes with the spec being in draft who knows what will change. I'm really interested in seeing what the Firefox implementation turns out to be. Hopefully close enough to Chrome's that everything still works.

Are you on Twitter or is there some other way for me to know about your progress?
