Web Speech API - Speak again (reset sentence)

Question

i use the webkitSpeechRecognition() to create my own little voice recorder.

Here is a demo (works only with chrome!)
http://jsfiddle.net/gsu4aod2/

Say a sentence and
1a.) if the text correct, click on the "add sentence" button
1b.) if the text not correct click the "speak again" button

My problem is that i dont know how to "reset" the text. When i use the stop() and start() method, the text is removed but than i must confirm the access to the microphone again and again.

Any ideas?

You are getting the events.result data starting from index 0. You need to start the for loop with something called event.resultIndex.

resultIndex attribute: The resultIndex must be set to the lowest index in the "results" array that has changed. [source]

recognition.onresult = function (event) {
    //console.log(event);
      var final = "";
      var interim = "";
      for (var i = event.resultIndex; i < event.results.length; ++i) {
        if (event.results[i].final) {
          final += event.results[i][0].transcript;
        } else {
          interim += event.results[i][0].transcript;
        }
      }
