Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.
The interpretation
read-only property of the SpeechRecognitionEvent
interface returns the semantic meaning of what the user said.
This might be determined, for instance, through the SISR specification of semantics in a grammar (see Semantic Interpretation for Speech Recognition (SISR) Version 1.0 for specification and examples.)
Syntax
var myInterpretation = event.interpretation;
Value
The returned value can be of any type. If no semantic interpretation has been returned by the speec recognition system, null
will be returned.
Examples
recognition.onresult = function(event) { var color = event.results[0][0].transcript; diagnostic.textContent = 'Result received: ' + color + '.'; bg.style.backgroundColor = color; console.log(event.interpretation); }
