I currently have for my web application a speech recognition functionality achieved with a Speech Recognition library named annyang. This works only in chrome because x-webkit-speech(which is used for speech recognition) works only for Chrome.

My question here is if I can do something(even if I have to do radical changes) to have a speech recognition functionality in Mozilla Firefox too (and eventually in IE).

    Are you still using x-webkit-speech? Isn't that deprecated? What replacement have you found? – Nilay Vishwakarma Jan 14 '15 at 05:47
  • @Nilay Vishwakarma That was just for a school project and for my personal interests. I stopped working on that project a while ago and I didn't look for a replacement. Sorry. – user2271933 Jan 14 '15 at 18:35

Looks like they're working on it: https://wiki.mozilla.org/SpeechAPI#Technical_Stuff

...but that it's not coming any time soon: http://caniuse.com/web-speech

Looks like you'll need to stick with Chrome for the time being.
