### You should also know that...

Summary: Extends the SpeechRecognition interface by adding a 'quality' property to SpeechRecognitionOptions. This allows developers to specify the semantic capability required for on-device recognition (via processLocally: true). The proposed quality enum supports three levels: 'command', 'dictation', and 'conversation'.
