Detect x-webkit-speech?

Question

I want to detect if the browser supports x-webkit-speech (speech to text in <input>s) using JavaScript, but it seems impossible. How can I achieve that?

(I want to display a message if the browser or its version does not support it.)

Answer 1

you can check whether the browser has a support for speech like this:

if( document.createElement('input').webkitSpeech==undefined )
{
  //no speech support
}

Answer 2

Detect on webkit browser (currently only Chrome) and maybe W3C in future ^_^

if ( !!("webkitSpeechRecognition" in window) || !!("speechRecognition" in window) )

       alert("yeah!")

}
