<p>{{APIRef("Web Speech API")}}{{SeeCompatTable}}</p>
<p>The <strong><code>SpeechRecognition</code></strong> interface of the <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API">Web Speech API</a> is the controller interface for the recognition service; this also handles the {{domxref("SpeechRecognitionEvent")}} sent from the recognition service.</p>
<div class="note">
<p><strong>Note</strong>: On Chrome, using Speech Recognition on a web page involves a server-based recognition engine. Your audio is sent to a web service for recognition processing, so it won't work offline.</p>
</div>
<h2 id="Constructor">Constructor</h2>
<dl>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.SpeechRecognition()")}}</dt>

<p><em><code>SpeechRecognition</code> also inherits properties from its parent interface, {{domxref("EventTarget")}}.</em></p>
<dl>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.grammars")}}</dt>
<dd>Returns and sets a collection of {{domxref("SpeechGrammar")}} objects that represent the grammars that will be understood by the current <code>SpeechRecognition</code>.</dd>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.lang")}}</dt>
<dd>Returns and sets the language of the current <code>SpeechRecognition</code>. If not specified, this defaults to the HTML {{htmlattrxref("lang","html")}} attribute value, or the user agent's language setting if that isn't set either.</dd>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.continuous")}}</dt>
<dd>Controls whether continuous results are returned for each recognition, or only a single result. Defaults to single (<code>false</code>.)</dd>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.interimResults")}}</dt>
<dd>Controls whether interim results should be returned (<code>true</code>) or not (<code>false</code>.) Interim results are results that are not yet final (e.g. the {{domxref("SpeechRecognitionResult.isFinal")}} property is <code>false</code>.)</dd>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.maxAlternatives")}}</dt>
<dd>Sets the maximum number of {{domxref("SpeechRecognitionAlternative")}}s provided per result. The default value is 1.</dd>
<dt>{{domxref("SpeechRecognition.serviceURI")}}</dt>
<dd>Specifies the location of the speech recognition service used by the current <code>SpeechRecognition</code> to handle the actual recognition. The default is the user agent's default speech service.</dd>

<p>Listen to these events using <code><a href="/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener">addEventListener()</a></code> or by assigning an event listener to the <code>on<em>eventname</em></code> property of this interface.</p>

<h2 id="Examples">Examples</h2>
<p>In our simple <a href="https://github.com/mdn/web-speech-api/tree/master/speech-color-changer">Speech color changer</a> example, we create a new <code>SpeechRecognition</code> object instance using the {{domxref("SpeechRecognition.SpeechRecognition", "SpeechRecognition()")}} constructor, create a new {{domxref("SpeechGrammarList")}}, and set it to be the grammar that will be recognised by the <code>SpeechRecognition</code> instance using the {{domxref("SpeechRecognition.grammars")}} property.</p>
<p>After some other values have been defined, we then set it so that the recognition service starts when a click event occurs (see {{domxref("SpeechRecognition.start()")}}.) When a result has been successfully recognised, the {{domxref("SpeechRecognition.onresult")}} handler fires, we extract the color that was spoken from the event object, and then set the background color of the {{htmlelement("html")}} element to that colour.</p>
