SpeechRecognitionAlternative: transcript property

Limited availability

This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.

The transcript read-only property of the SpeechRecognitionResult interface returns a string containing the transcript of the recognized word(s).

For continuous recognition, leading or trailing whitespace will be included where necessary so that concatenation of consecutive SpeechRecognitionResults produces a proper transcript of the session.

Value

A string.

Examples

This code is excerpted from our Speech color changer example.

recognition.onresult = (event) => { const color = event.results[0][0].transcript; diagnostic.textContent = `Result received: ${color}.`; bg.style.backgroundColor = color; };
