What specific section or headline is this issue about?

Browser compatibility

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

Microsoft Edge does not actually support the SpeechRecognition Web Speech API. It's listed that it is "Implemented with the vendor prefix: webkit." While using it does not generate any errors, the implementation does nothing. No results are ever returned.

This may be an issue of semantics. Does implementing with a no-op count as implementing? :-)

What did you expect to see?

The Edge column should either have a "No" or a warning sign because the implementation is broken.

Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

Two users have tested on two different devices, each on two separate pages (4 total tests). For all of them, Chrome's speech recognition works correctly, and Edge never returns any results.

n=4 isn't huge, but it's been consistent. I also believe this issue is known by Edge.

Here's an example test page this can be used to verify SpeechRecognition on the Web Speech API:

Do you have anything more you want to share?
