Backdoor contact ... very important research in regards to the W3C Speechrecog API
Hello, I have been reading your article https://codeburst.io/html5-speech-recognition-api-670846a50e92 with great interest. I am currently working/developing on a high priority project, that uses the Speechrecognition API. Within the todo-list is gathering research in regards to ownership of the different used technologies.
In the article you write that "And since Google opened its own speech recognition engine to support that API, we are able to incorporate one of the best speech recognition technologies out there. At this point — the API is free in conjunction with Google, but there is no guarantee it will continue to be in the future." As I see it; a W3C API library should be free of charge, so what you are referring to should be; Google charging the use of their own further-development of the library and/or an charge of an add-on library to their Chrome browser, that makes it ('webkitspeechrecognition'-part) work there?
I just need to be much closer to '100% correct' in my argumentation if I talk with potential investors in the near future :-)

Hej Thomas, I think at the time of writing googles pricing was free. But if you are developing a large project that prices for using google cloud speech to text are available on link below: https://cloud.google.com/speech-to-text/pricing Hope this helps.
