Unlocking Fun Experiments: Exploring the Web Speech API

Voice interfaces surround us daily, helping us with some tasks. But let's forget productivity for a second and experiment with our voice on the Web.
We will look at the current state of the Web Speech API, explore its potential in Karaoke, and have some fun!

In my talk, I plan to present a few demos using the Web Speech API that is currently available in some browsers. Using the Speech API and modern CSS, I will explore creating my own gamified karaoke in the browser. My goal is to leave the audience inspired to work on fun projects as a way to learn.

Key takeaways from building the demo:
- Experiment with a browser API: WebSpeechApi and HTMLMediaElement
- Lots of javascript
- CSS animations
- Read and understand API Specifications

Technical requirements:
- audio
- wi-fi

Conferences:
- 2023 State of the Browser (past)
- 2023 FFConf (past)
- 2024 All Day Hey!
- 2024 WebExpo Conference

Target audience:
Front-end developers who are keen in fun and creative coding.

Preferred session duration:
30 mins
