SpeechRecognitionEvent.interpretation

Deprecated: This feature is no longer recommended. Though some browsers might still support it, it may have already been removed from the relevant web standards, may be in the process of being dropped, or may only be kept for compatibility purposes. Avoid using it, and update existing code if possible; see the compatibility table at the bottom of this page to guide your decision. Be aware that this feature may cease to work at any time.

The interpretation read-only property of the SpeechRecognitionEvent interface returns the semantic meaning of what the user said.

This might be determined, for instance, through the SISR specification of semantics in a grammar (see Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition (SISR) Version 1.0 for specification and examples.)

Syntax

var myInterpretation = event.interpretation;

Value

The returned value can be of any type. If no semantic interpretation has been returned by the speec recognition system, null will be returned.

Examples

recognition.onresult = function(event) {
  var color = event.results[0][0].transcript;
  diagnostic.textContent = 'Result received: ' + color + '.';
  bg.style.backgroundColor = color;
  console.log(event.interpretation);
}
