Accessing Microphone in browser

[silverark]

In Chrome and Firefox, when you navigate to https://olivia-ai.org/chat it won't pick up your microphone until you click on the language dropdown adn select a language. it then prompts you if you want to allow access to your microphone.

Before selecting a language, clicking on the button in the middle just makes a beep but doesn't actually listen.

Tested on my android and it does the same thing. You have to select a Language first before the microphone promp appears.

It would be helpful to add a message to the page, or get it to try and access the microphone straight away?

If it helps, it's because you're trying to load the language from local storage, before it's set. That throws a javascript error.
