Speak + And + Spell
| Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | --Sean |
Yahoo! BrowserPlus has opened its doors to the Internet at large -- officially as of next week, but you can mess around with it now -- and in celebration, I've written the simplest, most hideous (from a Javascript perspective...I'm terrible with Javascript) interactive speech input box that you could ever imagine, with the help of the extremely useful sample code. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can, which I suppose is the magic of BrowserPlus -- packaging up a bunch of useful tools that you usually wouldn't find in a browser and making them easily accessible through just a bit of Javascript. Definitely check it out, and try out the Speak & Spell below! Because otherwise I just wasted 30 minutes of my life.
(You'll need to install BrowserPlus, obviously. And it's only available for Mac OSX and Windows, sorry.)
