## What it is
A pair of Polymer-based Web Components (<voice-player> and <voice-recognition>) that wrap the Web Speech API for speech synthesis (text to speech) and voice recognition (speech to text). It exposes a simple declarative DOM API with attributes like text, accent, and autoplay.

## Use cases
- add text-to-speech to a web page with a custom element
- convert speech to text in the browser
- speak text aloud in multiple languages on a website
- build a voice-controlled web interface
- wrap the Web Speech API in web components

## When to choose
- you are already using Polymer/Web Components and need simple speech synthesis or recognition
- you want a declarative HTML attribute API over the raw Web Speech API

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained library - the project has had no releases since 2018 and uses Bower
- you are not using Polymer or the Web Components polyfill
- you need broad browser support without the Web Speech API

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: speech-recognition, tts, ui-components
- domain: speech-processing, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: web-components, polymer, web-speech-api, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, web-server
