WebSpeechApi support in 2022

The browser/library support for speech is not great in my experiments:

browsers

• Chrome 70
• Firefox 96.0
• Oculus browser
• Brave 100.1

I had zero consistent results with the following API's/libs:

• WebSpeechAPI (the unified api which should render the libraries below obsolete)
• https://github.com/TalAter/annyang (in-browser)
• https://github.com/zzmp/juliusjs (in-browser)
• https://github.com/syl22-00/pocketsphinx.js (in-browser)

I remember this not being the case some years ago (when WebSpeechAPI came out)

other observations

• the W3C tests mentioned in the draft date from 3-4 years ago: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/tree/master/speech-api

Maybe there wasn't much developer focus on speech-api after some point.
