The Web Speech API's "SpeechRecognition" object was initialized without setting the lang attribute. The browser's speech recognition backend (Google's servers) requires a language to be specified for the audio stream. Without it, the server rejects the connection and returns a "network" error — which was then displayed as "Speech recognition error: network. Please check your microphone permissions." — misleading users into thinking it was a microphone permissions issue when their microphone was fine.

The Web Speech API requires the "lang" attribute to properly connect to Google's speech recognition servers. Without it, the API fails during the network handshake → "network" error is returned, misleading users to check microphone permissions (which are working fine).
