This feature is not Baseline because it does not work in some of the most widely-used browsers.
The SpeechRecognitionErrorEvent interface of the Web Speech API represents error messages from the recognition service.
SpeechRecognitionErrorEvent also inherits properties from its parent interface, Event.
SpeechRecognitionErrorEvent.error Read only
Returns the type of error raised.
SpeechRecognitionErrorEvent.message Read only
Returns a message describing the error in more detail.
const recognition = new SpeechRecognition();
recognition.onerror = (event) => {
console.log(`Speech recognition error detected: ${event.error}`);
console.log(`Additional information: ${event.message}`);
};
