Google updating the Chrome beta includes text-to-speech, accelerated 3D CSS

Google updating the Chrome beta with two new features: speech-to-text and hardware accelerated 3D CSS. With the newly included HTML speech-to-input API, developers can enable Web applications to translate voice input into text.

“When a web page uses this feature, you simply click on an icon and then speak into your computer’s microphone, the recorded audio is sent to speech servers for transcription, after which the text is typed out for you.” From Google Blog.

The company has also added a GPU-accelerated CSS engine.
