Important: Spell checkers or other infrastructure that modifies text while speech recognition is active might cause speech recognition results to be inserted at an unexpected location. Make sure to deactivate spell checkers or such infrastructure in your integration.
Microphone support
On Windows operating systems, any microphone which can create 16-bit and at least 16 kHz audio data is supported.
On MacOS, any microphone which can create 16-bit and at least 16 kHz audio data is supported.
Make sure to test the microphones that your users will be using with your speech-enabled web pages before you deploy your app.
If your users are using microphones that don't create audio data of good enough quality for speech recognition, a message box is displayed; they can use your app but not with speech recognition.
