Yes, we're using the Web
Yes, we're using the Web Speech API for this content type, not the actual Google Cloud service that you're referencing. The Web Speech API is free, but has limited browser support.

Hi, it's great but...
It's probably great for most folks just as it is, but in my own work, I really need to be able to suppress the user's ability to show the solution... this is a feature of almost every other content type... is there no way to suppress that? Because I need the user to learn the correct answer from an appropriate source and speak it after he or she has done that, but I wouldn't be able to use it if it forces me to show the user the answer if they dont get it... (and im not sure why it would force that)

Hi mwm_xyz,This is not
Hi mwm_xyz,
This is not possible not unless you make changes to the code. You can also post a feature request. In order for your feature request to attract as much interest as possible make sure it follows the below guidelines:
It is clear from every perspective how the feature will work. We recommend describing the feature with one or more user stories, for instance “As an author I want it to be possible to pick between different effects for the check answer animation so that the learners will see a variety of effects and also I can adapt the effects to my target audience(I’ll be using pink unicorns which works really well for both my target audience which are 4 year old girls and venture capitalists)”
If the feature can be illustrated with images or videos it always helps
Make it clear what content types this is relevant for, and or if this is a new content type
Make sure you post the feature in the Feature Request forum.

Speak the words not working in Chrome on Mac
I cannot get speak the words to work in Chrome on a Mac. I've tried the demo here, one I created on the H5P site, as well as one in our Moodle installation. I click the button and it says "recording:. I click the button and it goes back to "push to record" but no processed text ever displays. I see the mic permission pop up on the H5P site, and this is HTTPS, and it still does not work for me. Suggestions?

Hi Melton,I would assume that
Hi Melton,
I would assume that you allowed H5P.org access to your mic. If this is the case you may want to check the browser console for errors. Double check the mic on your headset as well just to make sure.

User generated word as correct
Hi, I absolutely love this feature! I used a similar thing to create an app called 'pronunciation for university' on app inventor but this makes my life so much easier as students don't have to donload anything to their phones!
Quick question, is there a way of specifying any user generated word as correct in a sentence? e.g. My name is _* *_ , so that the user can practise saying sentence stems with personalisation?

Hi Gar_eth,
I'm afraid this is not possible with the current features of this content. Speak the Words doesn't have a feature that allows custom words yet but you may post a feature request for this. In order for your feature request to attract as much interest as possible make sure it follows the below guidelines:
It is clear from every perspective how the feature will work. We recommend describing the feature with one or more user stories, for instance “As an author I want it to be possible to pick between different effects for the check answer animation so that the learners will see a variety of effects and also I can adapt the effects to my target audience(I’ll be using pink unicorns which works really well for both my target audience which are 4 year old girls and venture capitalists)”

Error in Chrome in ios
Hi
I was trying to load voice recognition feature on Chrome from iphone but I am getting this error although I am using the chrome.
https://prnt.sc/oe032q
The error page that I am trying to load is actually this page - https://h5p.org/speak-the-words
I have done factory reset for the phone and download the latest version Chrome (75.0.03770.103)
I am using iphone 6 plus with software version 12.3.1.
Is there anything I need to update on ios to make this work? Please render your expertise here.
Thank you.

Hi futureyoon,Chrome in iOS
Hi futureyoon,
Chrome in iOS devices uses the core files of Safari. In effect you are actually using Safari with a Chrome skin.

Hi BV52,
Hi BV52,
Thank you for the info. If I understand you correctly, at default, Chrome in iOS will not work with 'Speak the Words' feature?
Is there anything can be done from programming perspective?
Thank you.

Hi futureyoon,You are correct
Hi futureyoon,
You are correct. Eventhough it is noted at the top that it only works with Chrome, iOS in Chrome is an exception.
I'm afraid not there is simply no support from the browser for the content to work.

thanks for the update
Hi BV52,
Thanks for the confirmation! It's a shame on IOS... I have 50% users base on IOS... hmm..
Just another thought.. how about the app browser? i mean what if i build an app where 'speak the word' h5p quiz exists, would it work with those app frameworks like ionic, react native, monaca, onsen ui, xamarin, framework 7...kind?
Thank you

Hi futureyoon,
I am not really sure if it would work. If someone else in the community had similiar experience maybe they can give their inputs.

regarding results
It could be great if you could see the "results" of the students (how was it registred).
When i go to the grade book in moodle nothing is shown. Maybe it could be an addition in the future ?

Hi mannvdn,Did you copy/paste
Hi mannvdn,
Did you copy/paste the answer from another source like word or another website. I tried the same word here and I was able to make it work. Please note that I do not know Lao and only used Google Translate.
