Hi there,

Dan has simply pointed out that you've posed a specific question about Safari (which is a proprietary Apple product).

This list is dedicated to WebKit which is an open-source library being used by many vendors (including Apple).

This email from Chris that was attached to this post earlier in the year, is the ONLY thing I can find on the web regarding Apple's support of the speech API, which is very surprising to me.  Does anyone have any knowledge of whether or not Apple is planning to support this spec for Safari, specifically on mobile, and if so, when?  Now that this is a W3C spec, and Chrome has added support for it, Apple is seriously missing the boat on this.  As a developer of mobile optimized sites for large retail brands, we see speech to text as a game changer for the mobile web.  Very interested to know if this is even on Apple's radar…and if not, why not?
