I don’t have access to this document. Could it be made available to 
non-Googlers?

Can you say why no TAG review?

I don’t see Gecko taking any position on that thread.

> WebKit: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/517)

Thanks for engaging with Marcos’ feedback on the WebKit thread. It looks like 
most of his feedback has now been addressed, so you might consider sending a 
ping giving that update, with the context that you’re now requesting this to 
ship in Chromium.

I couldn’t find much test coverage at this link for this addition -- just the 
one line in 
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/speech-api/SpeechRecognition-basics.https.html
 that confirms the phrases​​ array exists and is initially empty. I did see 
there was an end-to-end manual test at 
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/speech-api/SpeechRecognition-phrases-manual.https.html
 which is great. Maybe there’s more that can be added as automated coverage 
though? For example an automated WPT could check that SpeechRecognitionPhrase​s 
can be constructed, that they can be assigned to phrases​, that boost​ values 
outside of the 0.0-10.0 range throw errors, etc.

Thanks,
Dan

Summary

This feature enables websites to support contextual biasing for speech 
recognition by adding a recognition phrase list to the Web Speech API. 
Developers can provide a list of phrases as well as updating them to apply a 
bias to the speech recognition models in favor of those phrases. This helps 
improve accuracy and relevance for domain-specific and personalized speech 
recognition.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the 
project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).

None
