Chrome browser gains Web Speech API support in latest stable build

Good news, everyone: a safer and more robust version of Google Chrome has just been tipped for the masses. Like we’ve previously seen in the beta release, the stable version of Chrome 25 brings support for the Web Speech API. With this update, you’ll find the ability to create dictations and issue voice commands within any web app that taps into the feature. Also of significance, silent extension installs are now a thing of the past for Windows users in Chrome 25. While you’ll now need to consent to each add-on before it’s installed, we’re sure you’ll agree that the added security is worth the extra trouble. As you’ve come to expect, the update to Google Chrome will be rolled out to users via the browser’s auto-update feature, which means it won’t be long before you have a shiny new version number.
