This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The message read-only property of the SpeechRecognitionErrorEvent interface returns a message describing the error in more detail.
Syntax
var myErrorMsg = event.message;
Value
A DOMString containing more details about the error that was raised. Note that the spec does not define the exact wording of these messages — this is up to the implementors to decide upon.
Examples
var recognition = new SpeechRecognition();
recognition.onerror = function(event) {
console.log('Speech recognition error detected: ' + event.error);
console.log('Additional information: ' + event.message);
}
