Implementing the Web Speech API for Voice Data Entry
summary
A Rails front end uses the Web Speech API in Chrome to capture numeric measurements for warehouse associates; a quick pilot shows one user is 3 minutes faster per garment while a veteran sees smaller gains. Speech returns inconsistent text vs numbers (~50/50 contextual formatting), so the app maps words to numeric fractions and uses a Jabra headset to cut noise, but continuous-recording reliability sometimes stops and a keyboard fallback remains enabled.
