What are language codes in Chrome's implementation of the HTML5 speech recognition API?

Question

Chrome implemented the HTML5 speech recognition API. Many languages are supported. I wanna know which languages are supported and each language\'s corresponding code which is us

Answer 1

Use the following code to get all available voices for the speech API in your browser:

var voices = speechSynthesis.getVoices();
      for(var i = 0; i < voices.length; i++ ) {
        console.log("Voice " + i.toString() + ' ' + voices[i].name + ' ' + voices[i].uri);
      }

At this time only Chrome and Safari support the Web Speech API (although Safari only supports the Text to Speech functionalities). Curiously Firefox OS supports TTS but the browser version does not.

The list of languages depends on what browser you are on according to both the documentation and my tests (user agent dependent).

In Safari you also get lots of languages available (I believe over 40). In Chrome, at this time you get the following list:

Voice 0 Google US English undefined

Voice 1 Google UK English Male undefined

Voice 2 Google UK English Female undefined

Voice 3 Google Español undefined

Voice 4 Google Français undefined

Voice 5 Google Italiano undefined

Voice 6 Google Deutsch undefined

Voice 7 Google 日本人 undefined

Voice 8 Google 한국의 undefined

Voice 9 Google 中国的 undefined

Voice 10 native undefined
