Ask HN: JavaScript Library to Compare Sounds

[truetaurus]

I am trying to find a way to detect the sounds of the phonetic alphabet. That's things like alpha, bravo, ... zulu.

Basically someone uses their microphone, speaks, and I want to compare their sound to that of one of the phonetic alphabet sounds.

Can anyone point me into the direction of some sort of library/package if possible to do this?

Alternatively an API could also work.

Figured out a simple solution. Was over thinking this.

Instead of comparing audio files, I could convert speech to text (which is quite easy to do in JavaScript). Then analyze the string!

Unless the speech to text library is flawed, and fails to understand someone due to an impediment or accent.
