Speech recognition is
becoming common on computing devices, and the World Wide Web Consortium – the group
that controls web browser standards and the HTML markup language – has included
it in the HTML5 specification being implemented in all new web browsers. As a web-based application, Step One Adaptive
benefits from this browser modernization and now takes advantage of it to add speech
recognition.
We have implemented
this feature for text fields, and microphone icons will now appear next to
fields for those using the newest Chrome browser for Windows or Android. As other browsers comply with the new
standard and issue new versions, the little mics will be there too. In the meantime, we recommend Chrome.
As the speech
recognition technology improves its ability to understand human speech and
sentence context, the browsers will issue updates and the benefits will appear
in your app automatically. Of course we
are always looking for ways to leverage technology to improve the user
experience and save our customers time.
