The Web Speech API is a web technology that allows developers to add voice capabilities to their applications. It supports two key functions: speech recognition (turning spoken words into text) and speech synthesis (turning text into spoken words). This enables users to interact with websites using their voice, enhancing accessibility and user experience. The Web Speech API consists of two parts: SpeechRecognition and SpeechSynthesis. In this tutorial, we'll learn how to set up a simple web page that lets users record their speech and convert it into text using the Web Speech API.
