This week, most of my work was trying to learn the Bing Speech API and setting up the website to work with it.
Here is a list of the things I worked on this week:
– Website SSL
Note from Microsoft: Some browsers block microphone access on un-secure origin. So, Microsoft (Bing Speech API) recommends to host the app on https to get it working on all supported browsers.
– Website upgrade of hosting (more speed and storage) to enhance performance of the book.
– Draft of structure of the interface (HTML / CSS)
– favicon
– Subscribed to the Speech Recognition API, and got a free trial subscription key
– Downloaded the API

– Read through the API’s documentation
