# [Speak Into Existence OpenProcessing Sketch](https://www.openprocessing.org/sketch/1028141)

A work in progress sketch on OpenProcessing using the p5 Speech library.

Very simple: speak into your microphone, and your words will float across the screen.

I may eventually add extra features to this later (like for example, larger text when you speak louder, but this is a rough idea. This could be good, for example in an interactive sketch for an open mic poem or something.

**NOTE: this sketch, as far as I know, will only work on browsers that support speech recognition (e.g. Chrome or Microsoft Edge), and not browsers such as Firefox. Refer to the 'Browser Compatibility' tables [here](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API)**

Hi I don’t have a mic on my PC, so I tried it on my Android, and it did work, just extremely slow even increasing the SPEED var.
