The next version of Chrome features the Web Speech API for developers.
Other than a U-Haul truck full of bug fixes, Google's Chrome 24 didn't really introduce any uber exciting features to the masses. There was an update to Flash, some speed improvements, and not much else. Such is the side effect of having rapid fire browser releases, but lest you find yourself overly jaded these days, Chrome 25 looks to be a little more interesting with the inclusion of the Web Speech API for developers.
