title: Chrome iOS webkit speech-recognition
body: <p>I'm trying to implement speech recognition on Chrome on the iPad without any luck. Just to cut to the chase and remove any dependencies on my implementation of the webkitSpeechRecognition api, Glenn Shire's <a href="http://updates.html5rocks.com/2013/01/Voice-Driven-Web-Apps-Introduction-to-the-Web-Speech-API">excellent sample code</a> does not run on Chrome v27 on an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 or Chrome v31 on an iPad3 running iOS 7.0.4, at least as far as I can tell. It fails at this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code> if (!('webkitSpeechRecognition' in window)) {
      r.onState('upgrade');
      return;
   }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't figure out a workaround, and I've not seen any online postings that say anything about speech recognition not working in the iOS version of Chrome. Anyone else run into this?</p>
