SpeechRecognition: continuous property
Limited availability
This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The continuous property of the
SpeechRecognition interface controls whether continuous results are
returned for each recognition, or only a single result.
It defaults to single results (false.)
Value
A boolean value representing the current SpeechRecognition's
continuous status. true means continuous, and false means not
continuous (single result each time.)
Examples
This code is excerpted from our Speech color changer example.
js
const recognition = new SpeechRecognition();
recognition.continuous = false;
recognition.lang = "en-US";
recognition.interimResults = false;
recognition.maxAlternatives = 1;
