Voice search

The user dictates their query instead of typing it.

How to enable it

features.voiceSearch is enabled by default. To turn it off, pass features: { voiceSearch: false } in NeuroonWidgetConfig. Support is detected at runtime: if the browser does not expose the Web Speech API, the microphone button is not rendered.

What the user sees

  • Microphone button next to the search input.
  • Modal with live feedback (transcribed text, audio level).
  • Graceful fallback: if Web Speech API is not available, the button is hidden.

Browser support

Chrome (desktop & Android), Edge, Safari (iOS 14.5+ and macOS 14.5+), and Opera. Firefox does not support Web Speech API yet and the button is auto-hidden.
