Web Speech API stopped working on Edge starting with v.134

Starting with version 134 of the Edge Browser (Windows 10, Edge Stable Version 134.0.3124.51, released March 6, 2025), the functionality of speech recognition (WebSpeechAPI) has been broken. This issue potentially impacts millions of users.

Requests to Microsoft servers return a "Network error."

For more details, please refer to this ticket:

https://github.com/speech-translator-ext/speech-translator-readme/issues/50

 

An easy way to test speech recognition:

PS: It’s also unfortunate that, as a web browser extension developer, the "App Assure" functionality is not available. (App Assure: Facing issues with your business apps or websites on the latest version of Microsoft Edge? Microsoft will help you resolve them at no additional cost.) And in general it's very unclear where to report such issues.

    I am experiencing the same issue, and it is very frustrating.

    Hopefully, it will be resolved soon.

    This is a frustrating situation, I was trying to find bugs in my speech-to-text API all day today and it turned out to be an edge issue. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

      Hi KappaFlow AymanAZ AllenIsaac  - I just spoke with our developer and they are hoping a fix for this will be included in the Stable 134 release later this week.  Thanks!

    I started experiencing the exact same thing. And you can even go to edge to Google.com and their microphone also doesn't work  in edge . 

    Even Microsoft's own speech api  web page doesn't work
