  from unscientifically looking at network sent packet counts, it's definitely phoning home for the answer.

    That does not specify where the recognition is happening.

  If it's anything like speech recognition in Android, it's all server-side..so this should be technically possible in any browser as long as google allows it.

  I busted out wireshark to answer my own question. The data is actually getting encoded as speex and being posted to http://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize http://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize . Maybe google is about to open up its speech recognition API to the masses?

  You can't see it in the Chrome Developer Tools/Network UI, but the browser is sending the recorded audio input to a webserver. Unfortunately it's HTTPS, so a bit hard to decode the URL/content of the message without using a proxy.

  They are doing post requests to there own servers, for recognition. reference: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/browser/speech/speech_recognition_request.cc?content-type=text/plain http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/brows... api url: https://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize https://www.google.com/speech-api/v1/recognize
