Add a text input field in addition to the speech input

[RomFouq]

A text input field would enable to test the project without speaking or with a browser that doesn't yet support the Speech API.

I like it. I've been thinking of different ways to integrate (like a Slack chat client with text output). Maybe the first version of the text input can even work more like a chat window with the input at the bottom and whatever output at the top. There are some interface improvements I'm working on so I'll definitely mock this out and see how it works out.

Does the Speech API only work with Chrome ? Because I've tried with Firefox but it doesn't work. But I see in the code :

window.SpeechRecognition ||
  window.webkitSpeechRecognition ||
  window.mozSpeechRecognition ||
  window.msSpeechRecognition ||
  window.oSpeechRecognition;

So I am confused whether it should work or not.

According to Can I use speech recognition is supported in Firefox 44 and later using the media.webspeech.recognition.enable flag.
