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);
}
Browser compatibility
BCD tables only load in the browser
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"
