Ability to Browse Web via Speech Recognition
What would be the suggested methods to input data, via speech recognition, on a generic web page?
I have some web pages, that are not public to anyone, that our quality control department logs their measured data into. This works great for functionality, when using a keyboard, but it is time consuming to type the data.
Is there a way for a computer, or a handheld device (IOS / Android) to automatically "listen" / all the time?
Is there a way to browse the web solely using speech commands on any piece of hardware?

There are also 3rd party DICTATION apps such as Google Voice and in particular apps Dragon Dictate which promise better voice recognition as they are specialists.
Most dictation apps will require Internet connections to make them work. Your devices, no matter whether they are computer, or a handheld device (IOS / Android) will require Internet connections.

In my situation, the QA station will always be connected to the internet.
My goal is to have the ability for them to measure something, log the data, and measure something again lightning fast. Typing 32.4 is slower than saying 32.4, as you can multi task by talking and moving, but you can't multi task when typing.

Yes but in terms of speech recognition ..... 'two thirty' and 'tooth hurty' are almost identical ;-)
That is why typing often beats speech recognition for accuracy and speed. Speech recognition also is highly dependent on the quality of the audio capture, ambient noise, users diction etc. whereas the keyboard entry is far more robust.

100% agree, but for right now, I want to test the idea.
Speech recognition has gone a long ways.
I'm developing the page to except an input, so the development will be the same, it is just a matter of how that input gets there is what I'm looking to speed up.

Is there a way to browse the web solely using speech commands on any certain PCs? Yes
Visually impaired people have long had applications and solutions for this with dedicated computer hardware and software but in more recent years both Windows and OSX have built-in dictation and voice command options which work pretty well
