To get started with using the SpeechClient, you can leverage the Web Speech API, which is a proposed web standard that allows you to handle voice input and output in real-time. Here's a brief overview of how you can implement it:

  1. Create a Speech Recognition Object: You can create a new speech recognition object in Safari, which is prefixed with Webkit. This object will handle most of the work related to speech recognition.

  2. Register a Result Handler: Set up a handler to listen for result events. When an event is received, it contains a list of snippets that the recognizer has picked up. You can access the transcript from these snippets to use in your application.

  3. Start the Recognizer: The recognizer needs to be started on a user event, such as a tap or a click. Users will need to grant microphone permissions for this to work.

  4. Use Speech Synthesis for Output: You can also use the speech synthesis API to provide audio feedback. Create speech synthesis utterance objects with the text you want to be spoken and pass them to the speech synthesis object.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the Optimize for the spatial web session from WWDC 2024, which covers the use of the Web Speech API in more depth.
