SpeechRecognitionPhrase: phrase property

{{APIRef("Web Speech API")}}{{SeeCompatTable}}

The phrase read-only property of the {{domxref("SpeechRecognitionPhrase")}} interface returns a string containing the word or phrase you want boosted in the recognition engine's contextual bias.

Value

A string.

Examples

Basic usage

The {{domxref("SpeechRecognition.phrases")}} property holds an array of SpeechRecognitionPhrase objects representing contextual biasing phrases. This array can be modified just like a normal JavaScript array, for example by pushing new phrases to it dynamically:

recognition.phrases.push(new SpeechRecognitionPhrase("thistle", 5.0));

You can then access these objects and their properties like so. To return the phrase value of the added phrase, you could do this:

// Should return "thistle"
recognition.phrases[0].phrase;
