API and permissions

youennf opened this issue · 1 comments

This specification is defining an API that might be gated by a user prompt.
As per spec: User agents must only start speech input sessions with explicit, informed user consent.

In that case, it seems some language could be added and refer to https://w3c.github.io/permissions/
That might also help defining the behavior for third party contexts, like done for other APIs such as getUserMedia.

Starting speech recognition should also probably be gated by some user activation.
