1597287 - Google translate(.com) voice recognition works badly when selecting English as input language with a specific endpoint

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Web Speech, defect, P3)

Description

[Raluca Popovici, Desktop QA]

Note

When selecting the English language as the input language in Google Translate (.com), the voice recognition would understand wrong words. (Or in some rare cases, it would barely understand some of the spoken words.)

Affected versions

Nightly v72.0a1

Affected platforms
All

Steps to reproduce

Open the latest Nightly.
Go to about:config
Flip the following prefs to "true":
media.webspeech.recognition.enable
media.webspeech.recognition.force_enable
Set "media.webspeech.service.endpoint" pref with value "https://dev.speaktome.nonprod.cloudops.mozgcp.net/”.
Go to https://translate.google.com/
Select English as the input language.
Click on the microphone icon/button.
Accept the permission to use the microphone.
Speak in english into the microphone.

Expected result

Voice recognition attempts to recognize and input correctly English words into the input box.

Actual result

The voice recognition would not understand any words. (Or in some rare cases, it would barely understand some of the spoken words.)

Additional notes
Issue does not occur when "media.webspeech.service.endpoint" pref is not set.
If you select romanian language and you speak in english then voice recognition attempts to recognize and input correctly English words into the input box.
