Svelte Speech Recognition

Overview

The Svelte Speech Recognition library offers an innovative solution for transforming spoken language into text, seamlessly integrating with Svelte components. While still in its alpha stage, this tool leverages the Web Speech API, allowing developers to create voice-enabled applications with user-friendly functionality. Designed to make speech recognition accessible, the library paves the way for enhanced user interaction across various projects.

This library’s primary function revolves around the useSpeechRecognition hook, which empowers Svelte components to access real-time speech transcripts from users’ microphones. With a focus on practical implementation, the library makes it easy to harness the power of voice recognition in your applications while acknowledging the existing limitations of browser support.
