SpeechRecognition not listening on Chromium

I'm trying to build a Javascript bot by using Puppeteer to open a https URL where I can listen for the microphone and output a transcript from the SpeechRecogniton API built in a browser, the below code seems to log something in normal Chrome, but on Chromium I get nothing despite this feature apparently being supported according to Modernizr. I've allowed microphone permissions but I get a dead console.log

window.SpeechRecognition = window.SpeechRecognition || window.webkitSpeechRecognition

const recognition = new SpeechRecognition()
recognition.interimResults = true

recognition.addEventListener('result', e => {
  const transcript = Array.from(e.results)
    .map(result => result[0])
    .map(result => result.transcript)
    .join('')

    // I get nothing logged here in Chromium
    console.log(transcript)
})

recognition.addEventListener('end', recognition.start)

recognition.start()

UPDATE

After adding the following...

recognition.addEventListener('error', function(event) { 
  console.log('Speech recognition error detected: ' + event.error);
});

I'm getting a Network error... and don't know what to do about this in Chromium?

Chromium no longer supports SpeechRecognition. I believe it's got something to do with Google wanting people to use their cloud services instead.
