Any solution to add "loading" ability (by identifying whether the recognition has been performed)?

[unmeshpro]

@TalAter I am using annyang.js with a three.js application and it seems quite disturbing not to know whether the speech is being recognized. Is there a way to monitor the state of request to recognize and the response from annyang so that I may add a loading or waiting animation?

I've also requested a feature like this in #101.

@unmeshpro - is this similar to #47 ?

[TalAter]

I would like to include such functionalities as plugins which would extend annyang's functionality, while keeping the base library lean.
@unmeshpro , @lmangani , @alanjames1987 - I would love your feedback on this at #60

[unmeshpro]

Yes.. @TalAter .. That's similar to #47 ..

You can display when the browser is listening and when it stops by attaching events to the start and end events:

annyang.addCallback('start', function () {
  console.log('Listening');
});
annyang.addCallback('end', function () {
  console.log('Not listening');
});

I've also created a new library just for showing these kinds of visual indicators, and allowing the user to interact with the SpeechRecognition. Check out [SpeechKITT](https://github.com/TalAter/SpeechKITT)

If you're interested in displaying exactly when speech is detected, and when it stops (even if that happens a few seconds after starting speech recognition), I'm afraid it is currently impossible to do this because of what I believe is a bug in Chrome. I have opened a bug report with the Chromium team, and am awaiting their response.
