3 The <code>chrome.experimental.speechInput</code> module provides | |
4 one-shot speech recognition to Chrome extensions. | |
5 This module is still experimental. For information on how to use experimental | |
6 APIs, see the <a href="experimental.html">chrome.experimental.* APIs</a> page. | |
7 </p> | |
8 <h2 id="manifest">Manifest</h2> | |
9 <p>You must declare the "experimental" permission in the <a | |
10 href="manifest.html">extension manifest</a> to use the speech input | |
11 API. | |
12 For example:</p> | |
13 <pre>{ | |
14 "name": "My extension", | |
15 ... | |
16 <b>"permissions": [ | |
17 "experimental" | |
18 ]</b>, | |
19 ... | |
20 }</pre> | |
21 <h2 id="howToStart">How to start speech recognition</h2> | |
22 <p>To start recognizing speech an extension must call the <code>start()</code> | |
23 method. If provided, your callback will be called once recording has | |
24 successfully started. In case of error <code>chrome.extension.lastError</code> | |
25 will be set.</p> | |
26 <p>This API provides exclusive access to the default recording device to the | |
27 first extension requesting it. Consequently, any calls to <code>start()</code> | |
28 when the device is being used by another extension or web page will fail and set | |
29 <code>chrome.extension.lastError</code>. The message <code>requestDenied</code> | |
30 will be set if another extension in the same profile is making use of the API. | |
31 Otherwise <code>noRecordingDeviceFound</code>, <code>recordingDeviceInUse</code> | |
32 or <code>unableToStart</code> will be set depending on the situation.</p> | |
33 <p>To check whether recording is currently active, call the | |
34 <code>isRecording()</code> method. Please note that it only checks for audio | |
35 recording within Chrome.</p> | |
36 <h2 id="howToGetResults">How to get speech recognition results</h2> | |
37 <p>Listen to the <code>onResult</code> event to receive speech recognition | |
38 results.</p> | |
39 <pre> | |
40 var callback = function(result) { ... }; | |
41 chrome.experimental.speechInput.onResult.addListener(callback); | |
42 </pre> | |
43 <p>The <code>result</code> object contains an array of | |
44 <a href="#type-experimental.speechinput.SpeechInputResultHypothesis">SpeechInput
ResultHypothesis</a> | |
45 sorted by decreasing likelihood.</p> | |
46 <p>Recording automatically stops when results are received. It is safe to call | |
47 <code>start()</code> again from the results callback.</p> | |
48 <p>To handle errors during speech recognition listen for the | |
49 <code>onError</code> event.</p> | |
50 <pre> | |
51 var callback = function(error) { ... }; | |
52 chrome.experimental.speechInput.onError.addListener(callback); | |
53 </pre> | |
54 </p>Recording will automatically stop in case of error. | |
55 It is safe to call <code>start()</code> again from the error callback.</p> | |
56 <h2 id="howToStop">How to stop recording</h2> | |
57 <p>To stop speech recognition call the <code>stop()</code> method. If provided, | |
58 the callback function will be called once recording has successfully stopped. | |
59 In case of error <code>chrome.extension.lastError</code> will be set. | |
60 </p> | |
61 <h2 id="otherFeatures">Other features</h2> | |
62 <ul><li> | |
63 <code>onSoundStart</code> - Event generated when start of sound is detected | |
64 (from previously being silent). | |
65 </li><li> | |
66 <code>onSoundEnd</code> - Event generated when end of sound is detected (a | |
67 continued period of silence). | |
68 </li></ul> | |
69 <h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> | |
70 <p>The following example illustrates how to show a JavaScript alert with the | |
71 most likely recognition result.</p> | |
72 <pre> | |
73 function checkStart() { | |
74 if (chrome.extension.lastError) { | |
75 alert("Couldn't start speech input: " + chrome.extension.lastError.message); | |
76 } | |
77 } | |
78 function recognitionFailed(error) { | |
79 alert("Speech input failed: " + error.code); | |
80 } | |
81 function recognitionSucceeded(result) { | |
82 alert("Recognized '" + result.hypotheses[0].utterance + "' with confidence " +
result.hypotheses[0].confidence); | |
83 } | |
84 chrome.experimental.speechInput.onError.addListener(recognitionFailed); | |
85 chrome.experimental.speechInput.onResult.addListener(recognitionSucceeded); | |
86 chrome.experimental.speechInput.start({ "language": "en" }, checkStart); | |
87 </pre> | |
