    You also need to turn off Starup boost edge://settings/system
    it prevents Edge to take the newly added command lines into effect immediately as some parts of the Edge is still in the memory and not fully closed.
    only after doing that did I see the "msSpeechRecognition" in "command-lines" in edge://version/
    showing that it is indeed enabled

      The start-up optimization was never enabled for me. Several restarts did not change anything and in edge/flags 'msSpeechRecognition' never shows. 

      The command-line flag is working partially, but the Web Speech API is buggy. It shows intermediate results but always ends with 'Network Error'. You can follow the ongoing (older) discussion here: Re: Web Speech API support ? - Page 2 - Microsoft Tech Community

       

      It is working in Google search though. Maybe only certain configurations of the API are buggy.

       

      [EDIT] Actually it seems the feature is enabled now even when I remove the command-line flag. 'msSpeechRecognition' is nowhere to be found though.
