Yes, https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html works, but not Google voice search at http://www.google.com.
When clicking on the webpage microphone at http://www.google.com after a second or two the message "No internet connection" replaces the Google search box. The browser tab does show the red recording dot and the microphone symbol appears in the address bar.
this could be an intentional move by Google, wouldn't be their first time. because web speech API works now in that demo above

I wouldn't be surprised if Google was tinkering with the page to make other browsers look bad, but in this case I really think its the Web Speech API implementation in Edge. I've been experimenting with it the last days and can confirm that it will occasionally drop the "onend" event and it will throw "network" error (critical) where it should throw "no-speech" (non-critical, can be ignored). Also the 'continuous' mode will constantly throw "network" errors as well.
I've reported all these bugs via the official channel and hope they will fix it before it arrives in the release ^^.
