Getting started with Speechly Web Components

The video below will in five minutes teach you the basics of using the Speechly Dashboard and Playground, as well as guide you through the three steps of

1. Setting up the Speechly microphone UI component,
2. Configuring an Appid, and
3. Binding the events returned by our API to UI functions.

The Codepen example used in the video can be accessed here.

System Overview

Adding voice functionalities to a website (or mobile application) with Speechly is similar to traditional event driven UI programming. In “non-voice” UIs callbacks are triggered by the user interacting with some UI component on the website / application. In Speechly powered UIs this event triggering happens via the user talking.

When developing a Speechly Voice UI you can focus on defining what happens when the user says something. The difficult part of turning speech to events is taken care of by our Client libraries and the Speechly API. The figure below illustrates this.
