## What it is
annyang is a tiny (2 KB), dependency-free JavaScript library that adds speech recognition and voice commands to websites using the Web Speech API. It lets developers define spoken commands with named variables, splats, and optional words that trigger JavaScript callbacks.

## Use cases
- add voice commands to a website
- let users control a site with speech
- build an accessibility tool with voice navigation
- add speech-to-text triggers to a web app
- create voice-controlled home automation dashboards
- detect if a browser supports speech recognition

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, zero-dependency browser speech recognition layer
- you need simple pattern-based voice commands with variables and optional words
- you want progressive enhancement that works in all browsers with graceful fallback

## When to avoid
- you need server-side or offline speech recognition
- you need full transcription of arbitrary speech rather than command matching
- you need a built-in GUI for the recognition status (use Speech KITT alongside)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: speech-recognition, nlp
- domain: speech-processing, web-development, accessibility
- platform: browser, cross-platform
- tags: voice-commands, speech-to-text, javascript, zero-dependencies, web-speech-api, nodejs
