If your goal is to do speech recognition from an html page, you might want to look at some other alternatives. Chrome supports speech recognition for text input. See http://slides.html5rocks.com/#speech-input and http://www.filosophy.org/2011/03/talking-to-the-web-the-basics-of-html5-speech-input/.

These use the following tag for speech recognition:

I believe Chrome is the only browser that currently supports this. http://tomlerendu.com/tutorial/how-to-use-html-5-speech-input/ has a good example and shows

if( document.createElement('input').webkitSpeech==undefined )
{
  //no speech support
}

as a means to test if speech recognition is supported.

Historically, there have been other approaches. Opera implemented a different solution, but it appears they are no longer supporting it - http://dev.opera.com/articles/view/getting-to-know-voice/.

Another approach that has been used is to use a java applet or flash app that communicates with a speech recognition back end. WAMI is a good example of this - http://wami.csail.mit.edu/. These approaches use a rich client (Java or Flash or other plug in) to capture speech and send it to a server or some local speech engine for processing.
