Might be worth mentioning that the Google Translate app for IOS already had this feature for a while. It actually works surprisingly well in all the languages I have tried (even though I speak some of them with a horrible accent).
I suspect they just added an interface for Chrome to an existing back-end.
Update: I just noticed that this is actually an implementation of the HTML Speech Input API (http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-htmlspeech/2011Feb/att-0020/api-draft.html http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-htmlspeech/201...), so technically this could appear on any site. This makes things actually a lot more interesting :)
- MatthewPhillips 16y agoIt's because Chrome just added support for the Speech Input API: http://chrome.blogspot.com/2011/03/talking-to-your-computer-with-html5.html http://chrome.blogspot.com/2011/03/talking-to-your-computer-...
- micheljansen 16y agoI just noticed that too; that is of much broader interest :)
