Commit Message

chore: support unprefixed SpeechRecognition API (#1988)

When the [Web Speech API](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API/Using_the_Web_Speech_API#javascript) was originally implemented, the speech recognition property was prefixed with webkit because it was an experimental webkit feature (window.webkitSpeechRecognition). As the feature has become more widely supported, some browsers have adopted an unprefixed version of the property (window.SpeechRecognition). This change updates our code to support both.
