Voice Search

You can add voice search to your website by using the speech recognition capabilities built into modern web browsers and devices. This functionality enables users to speak their search queries instead of typing.

AddSearch does not currently provide a built-in voice search integration. However, you can implement voice search on your site by using the Web Speech API.

  1. Explore the Web Speech API specification to understand how it enables speech recognition in web browsers.
  2. Use JavaScript to access the SpeechRecognition interface from the Web Speech API.
  3. Capture user speech input and pass it to AddSearch's search interface to perform queries.

Browser Support​

Browser support for the Speech Recognition API varies. Check current compatibility on this page: SpeechRecognition - MDN Web Docs.

Ensure to test voice search functionality across the browsers your audience uses to confirm it works as expected.
