There is a very high chance that you have interacted with apps that provide some form of voice experience. It could be an app with text-to-speech functionality, like reading your text messages or notifications aloud. It could also be an app with voice recognition functionality like Siri or Google Assistant.
With the advent of HTML5, there has been a very fast growth in the number of API available on the web platform. There are a couple of API known as the Web Speech API that have been developed to make it possible to seamlessly build varying kinds of voice applications and experiences for the web. These API are still pretty experimental, although there is increasing support for most of them across all the modern browsers.

I tried to execute the code. Did not get the buttons or the quote text visible on the screen. Is this sill working? Is there an issue with browser settings? What else can I check? The server ran successfully and with a verbose line of code I could see it is executing correctly. The index.html page also works fine. The doubt is on the output of public/main.js file. I am not getting any response from it. The Quote or the writer’s name is not visible at all. Neither the play pause or other buttons.
