| 10 | +# Speech-to-Text in Blazor AI AssistView |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The Syncfusion Blazor AI AssistView component supports `Speech-to-Text` functionality through the browser's [Web Speech API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API), enabling conversion of spoken words into text using the device's microphone. |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +## Prerequisites |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +Before integrating `Speech-to-Text`, ensure the following: |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +1. The Syncfusion AI AssistView component is properly set up in your Blazor application. |
| 19 | + - [Blazor Getting Started Guide](../getting-started) |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +2. The AI AssistView component is integrated with [Azure OpenAI](https://microsoft.github.io/PartnerResources/skilling/ai-ml-academy/resources/openai). |
| 22 | + - [Integration of Azure OpenAI With Blazor AI AssistView component](../ai-integrations/openai-integration.md) |
| 23 | + |
| 24 | +## Configure Speech-to-Text |
| 25 | + |
| 26 | +To enable Speech-to-Text functionality, modify the `Home.razor` file to incorporate the Web Speech API. The [SpeechToText](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/speech-to-text/getting-started-web-app) component listens for microphone input, transcribes spoken words, and updates the AI AssistView's editable footer with the transcribed text. The transcribed text is then sent as a prompt to the Azure OpenAI service via the AI AssistView component. |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +The `speechtotext.js` file handles operations related to the content of the editable footer, such as checking for meaningful input, clearing existing text, and updating the content with the transcribed value. Meanwhile, the `speechtotext.css` file styles the AI AssistView layout and ensures the component remains responsive across different screen sizes and devices. |
