Does version 54.01 (64 bit) support web speech API?
I don't get speech exercises with latest version of Duolingo language app and Duolingo says it's because my browser does not support Web Speech API.

Hi !
You should be able to enable it as follows :
Type in the address bar about:config (press Enter0 (promise to be carefull, if asked) Type in the search box : media.webspeech and look for the preferences :
media.webspeech.recognition.enable and media.webspeech.synth.enable
And make sure both values are set to true

Thanks, excellent response. I've changed "web speech recognition" and "...synth" enable to "true", but gone back to safari when using Duolingo, until such time as Firefox sorts problem.

This should be soon, however :
My answer to your question should have been : " Not yet, but as soon as Firefox does support it, you can enable it as follows :"
Therefore you may want to remove the 'Chosen Solution' mark from my post and mark cor-el's as such.
