Thanks for preparing this draft. I'd like to advocate including the EMMAText and EMMAXML attributes in SpeechRecognitionResult. One argument is that at least some existing consumers of speech recognition results (for example, dialog managers and log analysis tools) currently expect EMMA as input. It would be very desirable not to have to modify them to process multiple different recognizer result formats. A web developer who's new to speech recognition can ignore the EMMA if they want, because if all they want is tokens, confidence, or semantics, those are available from the SpeechRecognitionAlternative objects. > -----Original Message----- > From: Hans Wennborg [mailto:hwennborg@google.com] > Sent: Thursday, April 12, 2012 10:36 AM > To: public-speech-api@w3.org > Cc: Satish S; Glen Shires > Subject: Speech API: first editor's draft posted > > In December, Google proposed [1] to public-webapps a Speech JavaScript > API that subset supports the majority of the use-cases in the Speech > Incubator Group's Final Report.
