A word about the Web Speech Api

The Web Speech API is a relatively new HTML5 standard. It will enable browsers to render text to audio and audio to text.

The API is not implemented yet on most browsers and even if it is, then it depends also on your system. Google/Chrome and Apple/Safari claim full support, however testing shows that there are still a number of issues and inconsistencies in regards to sound buffering and performance.

So chances are that the app actually doesn't work on your device.
