Is there any way to enable voice to text (speech recognition) in gmail when using Chrome as a webbrowser? I really like the feature to search at google.com via voice and I'd also love to speak my mails instead of typing. I tried several chrome extensions, e.g. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/speech-recognition-for-gm/ffnepgjlfiinpkplhjmehkdhnaaongdk?hl=d
but none worked. I don't know why because the feature would be the same because the voice recognition API obviously already exists; so it should be easy to make it useable in gmail also!? At least from googles point of view…
Any ideas?

You can go here to use Google's "Web Speech API Demonstration" -- it works very fast and well and in multiple languages:

There's even a "Create Email" button!
Update: I couldn't resist, so I wrote a Chrome extension that does exactly this. Try it out and let me know. :-)
