Using speech-to-text in non-WebKit browsers

Question

By applying the x-webkit-speech attrtibute to an <input type="text" /> element, you can let WebKit browsers like Chrome use speech-to-text.

This way a user can speak to enter text in the textbox.

Which attribute can I use on other browsers to obtain the same effect?

Answer 1

I think this feature is only implemented in Chrome for Win/Mac/Android. That's because it's invented by Google and relies on Google's server to do the voice recognition. Any other browsers who want to implement this feature need to acquire voice recognition technology or work with a partner who has this technology. Thus I don't think this feature will be widely implemented in the near future.
