continous speech recognition with Webkit speech api
I know this is an old thread, but I had this problem too. I found that, even with the continuous flag set, if there are pauses in the input speech, a "no-speech" error gets thrown (triggers the onerror event) and the engine is shut down. I just added code in the onend to restart the engine:
recognition.onend = function() { recognition.start();};The next problem you might get is, every time the engine restarts, the user has to re-grant permission to let the browser use the microphone. The only solution at this time seems to be to make sure you connect to your site over HTTPS (source: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2013/01/Voice-Driven-Web-Apps-Introduction-to-the-Web-Speech-API bottom of post in bold)
Perhaps the typo on this line:
recognition.continuos = true;Should equal:
recognition.continuous = true;
recognition.onend = function(){recognition.start();// sets off a beep/noise each time it is accessed from a cell phone (Andoid).// does NOT if accessed from a desktop (Windows using Chrome).};
