Chromium's Web Speech API 'ServiceURI' attribute was removed recently allowing you to specify your own speech recognition service instead of the default Google'

Chromium's Web Speech API 'ServiceURI' attribute was removed recently allowing you to specify your own speech recognition service instead of the default Google's Speech service. Last Wednesday, I tried searching for a work-around, it would seem I'd have to build something with WebRTC to achieve similar responsiveness. The attribute was available until 49. I don't know the reason behind its removal. There isn't anything to suggest Google is forcing you into their speech service (which is expensive) but it would be nice to ASR on your own server and have the attribute back as per the specification or not be forced into using Cloud Speech or reinvent the wheel.
