Requirements for the speech input API (derived from our earlier proposal) from Satish Sampath on 2010-09-09 (public-xg-htmlspeech@w3.org from September 2010)

From: Satish Sampath <satish@google.com>

To: public-xg-htmlspeech@w3.org
Message-ID: <AANLkTik+O-MoiNWNw2S5JvpKa73oJMNjXaoees5rEgo0@mail.gmail.com>

Here are some requirements we came up as part of our earlier API proposal.

- The API must notify the web app when a spoken utterance has been recognized.

- The API must notify the web app on speech recognition errors.

- The API should provide access to a list of speech recognition hypotheses.

- The API should allow, but not require, specifying a grammar for the
speech recognizer to use.

- The API should allow specifying the natural language in which to
perform speech recognition. This will override the language of the web
page.

- For privacy reasons, the API should not allow web apps access to raw
audio data but only provide recognition results.

- For privacy reason, speech recognition should only be started in
response to user action.

- Web app developers should not have to run their own speech
recognition services.

Cheers
Satish
