Announcing the Speech Input experimental extension API

[Leandro Graciá Gil]

Hi everybody,

It's my pleasure to announce you the availability in Chromium of the new Speech Input experimental extension API. This API allows extensions to start recording audio for speech recognition and get the results back in a simple way.

The documentation for this extension API can be found here:

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/experimental.speechInput.html

An extension example making use of it can also be found here:

http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/trunk/samples.html#a942b7626644674b7a56678930d054497b244ee7

This API was partially implemented in M16 and the last patches have been recently landed on trunk. As an experimental extension API, remember to use the command flag --enable-experimental-extension-apis before trying it.

Cheers,

Leandro
