> I've been waiting for a WebspeechAPI implementation in Firefox for many years now but the only reason why I don't think it's happening is because maybe Mozilla lacks the funds to train the models for speech-to-text/text-to-speech, etc. The Web Speech API is still in "Draft" spec, but Mozilla have been working steadily on it and finished the work for SGML parsing back in January. There are actually flags you can change to enable it on most platforms, its just they aren't considered "stable" yet. Mozilla's DeepSpeech engine is also not that far off from reaching a level of stability. You can help them with it here [0] if you're interested.
