I would like to create a web interface which would utilize a speech to text feature. Does anyone know of any speech to text api's which can be written in Javascript? Thanks in advance!

There is a very new HTML5 API for this, and although chrome is the only browser supporting it it is a built in feature of HTML5, it is still awesome and accurate. I don't use it, but you can find out more about it here: http://updates.html5rocks.com/2013/01/Voice-Driven-Web-Apps-Introduction-to-the-Web-Speech-API
