This project is older (2011) than the Web Speech API.

(However, one of the scenarios for a version 2.0 was to implement the same API, additionally to the 'native' one, to be used as a fallback solution. While I actually had implemented this already, I don't think it may be that useful, while it increases file size quite a bit.)

Edit: Viable points for this may be still a) reliable performance and interaction, and b) known voices (even, if they are a bit robotic), c) use in offline applications. Using an analyser node for animations may be yet another.
