Web Speech API not working in Edge v. 147

Hello,

The JavaScript Web Speech API is not working with speech recognition in Edge v. 147 for multiple users in Spain, Italy and Turkey. This has been a problem since at least April 22, 2026. Can you fix it please?

    The same problem is occurring in Japan. It doesn't work with Chrome, but I discovered it on my work PC and then checked my home PC and the same issue is occurring there as well.

    It is getting worse. Today it is not working in the United States.

    Now the speech recognition part of the Web Speech API in Edge is not working for users in Mexico either. It is showing a network error. Is anyone at Microsoft working on this?

    Thank you.
