Web Speech API

A browser-native JavaScript API that provides speech recognition and speech synthesis capabilities directly within web applications. The Web Speech API enables developers to add text-to-speech and voice recognition features without requiring users to install screen reader software or other assistive technology. For accessibility, it opens new possibilities for delivering auditory descriptions and spoken feedback to a broader range of users than those who traditionally use screen readers, though it is limited to voices available on the user's device and currently lacks the full navigational capabilities of dedicated assistive technology.
