The SpeechRecognitionError interface of the Web Speech API represents error messages from the recognition service.

SpeechRecognitionError also inherits properties from its parent interface, Event.

SpeechRecognitionError.error Read only: Returns the type of error raised.
SpeechRecognitionError.message Read only: Returns a message describing the error in more detail.

Examples

var recognition = new SpeechRecognition();

recognition.onerror = function(event) {
  console.log('Speech recognition error detected: ' + event.error);
  console.log('Additional information: ' + event.message);
}

Firefox OS permissions

To use speech recognition in an app, you need to specify the following permissions in your manifest:

"permissions": {
  "audio-capture" : {
    "description" : "Audio capture"
  },
  "speech-recognition" : {
    "description" : "Speech recognition"
  }
}

You also need a privileged app, so you need to include this as well:

  "type": "privileged"
