Edge can't use the mic in the Google Translate page
- My guess is that all these Tools use the WebSpeechApi which only works on Google Chrome/Chromium (at least the recognition part) because Google uses it's own cloud servers for the audio transcription. Since the new Edge is basically Chromium it probably thinks that the WebSpeechApi is supported and breaks. The API behaves very strange currently in Edge.
Just to keep this thread alive and perhaps bring a little seasonal good news, I'd point out that voice input to Google pages is, as far as I can tell, working well in the Canary and now Dev channels, so barring last minute hiccups we should see it in the Stable channel next month.
the problem that me and some others are having is with Google.com voice search
it still doesn't work in version 89.0.731.0 (Official build) canary (64-bit)
the top feedback list also refers to google.com

see if you can get it to work on canary
Working fine for me in 89.0.731.0. I've only tried google.com and translate.google.com, but the experience is the same at both sites.
What happens when you try? Are you still seeing the error message I see on Stable?
I keep getting this error. no extension or tracking prevention is applied to it.
it shows me the prompt to allow mic access, then I talk and it shows the heart beat animation as if it's listening to my voice but then after few seconds, I get this
I'm assuming it's different from Google translate voice because that one works fine for me
