Chrome voice recognition with HTML5?

[Lobster]

Firefox 4 running it now - very nice
but Google Chrome beta - you can talk to it . . . [OK I do that anyway]

I tried installing the ubuntu deb
you will find chrome here once you have done that and run from command line

/opt/google/chrome/chrome

this is what happened

Code: Select all

# ./chrome  --enable-speech-input
[7048:7048:27383779283:ERROR:json_pref_store.cc(91)] Error reading Preferences: File doesn't exist. /root/.config/google-chrome/Local State: No such file or directory
Created new window in existing browser session.

OK got it working on Ubuntu - so it should work on Lucid
This voice recognition (as usual not perfect) is an HTML5 feature
Here are some css animations also to try - worked better than on FF4 which could not spin the text

That is an understatement - it is complete crap! Simple words are not correctly recognised.

Does this work in Puppy.? Anyone else with installation directions? Is there any Linux pre-req's necessary?

If you did get it running, please share your Hardware platform, CPU, and PUP distro.

Thanks
