Show HN: A quiz app using the Web Speech API

Wow this works really well! Love it.

By the way, this really demonstrates why I don't have much confidence in speech based applications. I started playing this in my living room, and my sister immediately was like "why are you doing that?" It's weird to just start talking at a computer. Felt weird, looked weird, was weird. That's why walkie-talkie functionality, which was in a lot of phones for a while, lost out to text messaging.

(not a criticism of this game, which I like a lot)

This is probably the coolest thing I have seen this week! Really low intensity interactions with the computer. Who needs a keyboard?

I have been using http://talktyper.com lately and I am amazed with the accuracy. I am not throwing out my keyboard out of the window yet, but soon.... soon.

Thx for releasing the source!

Tried the multiplication quiz: recognition is a bit slow and inaccurate, which results in repeated attempts per problem (and gets in the way of the main objective: answering as many as quickly in a minute). It's an otherwise cool showcase of the speech recognition feature though. :)

Hope you're keeping track of how often people curse at it. You know, for science.

When I worked on a project related to voice recognition and phone menu systems, they ended up making swear words redirect to the operator.

It was way off for me, after a minute of attempts I couldn't get it to understand árbol (spanish vocab)
