Hi,

Would you please take a look at this article :

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API


When that time comes, you should be able to enable it as follows :

Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter) (promise to be carefull, if asked)

Type in the search box : media.webspeech and look for the preferences :

media.webspeech.recognition.enable and media.webspeech.synth.enable

And make sure both values are set to true

Then close and restart Firefox.
