Voice Search Button

Web App Development
1

Hello,

  1. We are exploring the possibility of enabling users to search our app’s content using voice input on webOS devices. Our intended user journey is as follows:

Desired Flow:

  1. The user taps the microphone button within our app (developed by our team)

  2. Our app programmatically opens the webOS voice input UI to capture the user’s speech

  3. The system converts the spoken voice into text

  4. The converted text is automatically populated into our search input field

  5. We then use that text to perform a content search within our app

My questions are:

  1. How can we programmatically trigger the webOS voice input UI to capture user speech using JavaScript?

  2. Are there any webOS APIs or services (such as Luna Service APIs) that support this functionality?

  3. Are there alternative solutions or approaches that can help us implement this flow?

We would greatly appreciate any guidance, documentation, or sample code you could provide regarding voice input integration on webOS.

Thank you for your assistance.

webOS TV supports voice input by default. When you click the voice button on the Virtual Keyboard or Magic Remote, the TV processes your voice and returns the value to the text input area. Therefore, no additional implementation is required. Thank you.
