Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The result
event of the Web Speech API is fired when the speech recognition service returns a result — a word or phrase has been positively recognized and this has been communicated back to the app

Interface | SpeechRecognitionEvent |
Event handler property | onresult |
Examples
This code is excerpted from our Speech color changer example.
You can use the result
event in an addEventListener
method:
var recognition = new webkitSpeechRecognition() || new SpeechRecognition(); recognition.addEventListener('result', function(event) { var color = event.results[0][0].transcript; diagnostic.textContent = 'Result received: ' + color + '.'; bg.style.backgroundColor = color; });
Or use the onresult
event handler property:
recognition.onresult = function(event) { var color = event.results[0][0].transcript; diagnostic.textContent = 'Result received: ' + color + '.'; bg.style.backgroundColor = color; }
