Hello @MarceloFavio
Thanks for taking the time to write in. I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Please use guest mode to see if this behavior persists.
Let me know if that works!
Hi @Alice2095
the problem persists in guest mode.
Thanks for any help.
Me too. Can’t get it to work in Docs or Google Search.
It is likely due to the following issues we have with Google sites and mic detection:

## Latest status (this comment edited by @bsclifton)
This feature relies on a S… peech API key that we would need to create and pay for on a per-use basis. [As captured below](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/3725#issuecomment-506915890), @tomlowenthal has looked at this.
At the moment, this is on hold. We have some other features requiring this speech to text API also. But we haven't taken any action as creating a token and installing will have a cost associated with it.
## Original issue details by @MGRussell
This issue was previously opened in the browser-laptop repo [here](https://github.com/brave/browser-laptop/issues/4476) and was archived without resolution with numerous OS/versions chiming in. I am reopening it here, and reporting with Windows 7 with Brave Version 0.61.51 Chromium: 73.0.3683.75 (Official Build) (64-bit). [This](https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/issues/2802) may be a related issue which mentions that Webspeech API is disabled within Brave.
## Description
The browser does not function properly with Duolingo. The site asks for permission to use the microphone and everything seems to work fine, but it seems no input is ever being sent from brave to the site. The site only officially supports chrome and so this is something that would need to be remedied on Brave's end, if the browser is to be capable of using Duolingo.
## Steps to Reproduce
The browser fails on any tests from Duolingo that asks the user to send voice data, 100% of the time.
### Website problems only:
The issue does not resolve when disabling brave shields. This issue is not present on the latest version of Chrome.

## Description
NOTE: this is a duplicate of https://github.com/brave/brave-bro… wser/issues/3725
Any time you attempt to use voice search on Brave desktop, it displays a "no internet connection" message. This is after allowing access to your machine's microphone for both the site and Brave itself.

## Steps to Reproduce
1. Go to https://google.com/
2. Click the microphone icon

3. Attempt to search by voice.
## Actual result:
"No internet connection" is displayed.
## Expected result:
Successful voice search
## Reproduces how often:
Always
## Brave version (brave://version info)
v0.58.16
### Reproducible on current release:
- Does it reproduce on brave-browser dev/beta builds?
Yes, both.
### Website problems only:
- Does the issue resolve itself when disabling Brave Shields? Negative
- Is the issue reproducible on the latest version of Chrome? Nope!
### Additional Information
Behaves the same on macOS, Windows and Linux systems.
Apologies for the inconvenience. I will include your reports in the thread for our devs to review.
