Hi there,

I recently came across Google's blog post on "Cloud Speech API is now generally available": https://cloudplatform.googleblog.com/2017/04/Cloud-Speech-API-is-now-generally-available.html

Thus I was wondering:

  1.  Do we know if this will effect this WebKit speech JavaScript API (which I believe predominantly built/maintained by Google)? (e.g. performance/accuracy)
  2.  Will this WebKit feature remain available/free to use (or will quotas be introduced)?
  3.  Is the current situation likely to change any time soon?

Kind regards,
Andrew
