It’s always interesting to explore and experiment with new technologies which we could use in the projects. It’s a very common thing at Renuo to have an open mind and being able to leverage the best technology for the job. Having this in mind, the other day I was looking through some new and exciting browser APIs which could be worth trying out.
The first thing which caught my attention was a Web Bluetooth API. Unfortunately, my enthusiasm about it disappeared as quickly as it came to be. I stumbled upon some weird and very unstable behaviours, which just led to frustration as opposed to the excitement I was searching for.
Then I noticed Web Speech API and I decided to give it a shot. My hopes were not high, as the API is very experimental and so far has a very limited support. I didn’t try Edge, Firefox’s support is coming, but for now only the speech synthesis part is supported. That leaves us with Chrome. Ok, well, why not. It’s just an experiment…
