Hi there! I developed an app with tauri that uses speechSynthesis and speechRecognition features of web speech api. It works perfectly on windows but it does not on linux. I understand this is because tauri uses webkit2gtk for linux and it is not suported. Is that correct? Any workaround? Thx 🙌

Please only ask the same question in one related thread or create your own thread. Support for the Web Speech API is pending https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/pull/17158. The proposal has been pending upstream changes and the author of the upstream hasn't gotten a reply to their questions in a while so this seems to have stalled for now. The workaround is to implement it yourself in Rust. https://github.com/tazz4843/whisper-rs provides Rust bindings to the same library as the WebKitGTK proposal.
