I don't see why Mozilla would do this kind of things except to spread ressources. I know that it is an anecdote, but I don't know anyone who uses any kind of speech to text in part because they all suck if you don't speak english and even then..
- elaus 9y agoReally? I know a ton of people who talk to their phones (Google Assistant, Siri, navigation apps, ...) or have something like Alexa in their homes and I don't live in an english speaking country.

Maybe I hang around tinkerers too much, but I think it would be nice to have a method of speech control that doesn't rely on someone's remote speech recognition API.
- monsieurgaufre 9y agoAs i stated above, it might be an anecdata or a cultural bias as I live in Montreal. While i do believe that's interesting, I don't understand why that would be Mozilla's job.
- khedoros1 9y agoWhy not? They build free software and promote open standards; speech recognition is a prominent area that doesn't have any really good open solutions right now.
