CallBacks for event and functions for startListening,stopListening,abort etc..?

There are two ways you can do this:

• Use the built-in event handlers in the Speech Recognition object, which is given to you as a property called recognition. You can set these to your callback function when constructing or mounting your component:

    const { recognition } = this.props
    recognition.onend = () => console.log("Listening has stopped");
    recognition.onstart = () => console.log("Listening has started");

• Detect changes to the listening property, which is another property injected by react-speech-recognition. If you're using a class-based React component, you can pick up these changes in the componentWillReceiveProps lifecycle hook. For example:

  componentWillReceiveProps(nextProps) {
    if (this.props.listening !== nextProps.listening) {
      console.log(nextProps.listening);
    }
  }

Hope that helps!
