To get a text description of voice recordings, you can use the Web Speech API, which is a proposed web standard that allows you to respond to voice in real-time through the speech recognition interface. This API processes speech locally on the device, ensuring that no data needs to be sent from the device to make it happen. Here's a brief overview of how it works:

  1. Voice Input: Users can use voice input for any text field by tapping the microphone icon that appears with the keyboard.
  2. Speech Recognition: The Web Speech API allows you to register a handler to listen for result events. When an event is received, it contains a result list of all the snippets the recognizer has picked up so far. You can then extract the transcript from these results.

For more details, you can refer to the session Optimize for the spatial web.

Additionally, Apple provides frameworks that can convert speech to text and analyze natural language, which can be useful for more advanced use cases. You can explore these capabilities in the session Explore machine learning on Apple platforms.
