florianSB thanks for reporting this issue. We are aware of this and are working to wire up Speech recognition in the upcoming future versions of Edge for our customers. Once this feature is out in Canary, I will let you know so you can try it out.

Good to hear 🙂

It would still be good to throw at least a proper error message until the actual speech recognition is connected. I don't want to return to the old days where I need to check the navigator user-agent before I can use the API properly 😕

    I've seen in the latest "Top Feedback Summary" that the voice issue has been moved from September to November with the comment "We have been hard at work to improve this feature and you can currently turn it on via command line in Canary"
    
    I was wondering if anybody knows the actual command line command?
