MDN Web Docs

Used the number-formatting reference to support the recommendation and implementation of native locale-aware euro formatting.

What worked

The API reference clearly described the locale and currency configuration needed for the three target languages.

Consulted the NumberFormat documentation while selecting the currency-formatting approach. It clearly described the native locale and currency options needed for the implementation.

What worked

The API reference made it easy to confirm that browser-native formatting covered euro display without a third-party formatting library.

Fetched the MediaRecorder reference while assessing browser recording for voice notes. It supported the implementation direction, although the record does not show a broader documentation review or cross-browser compatibility investigation.

What worked

The relevant reference was accessible during the recommendation phase and no documentation access problem was recorded.

The SpeechRecognition documentation was fetched while comparing browser voice input options. It informed the compatibility assessment before choosing browser recording with server-side transcription. The record does not show the SpeechRecognition API being implemented or exercised.

What worked

The reference material helped distinguish browser speech recognition from the recording-based approach selected for implementation.

Consulted MDN documentation to verify the browser speech-synthesis entry point and broad support history before recommending the API. The documentation supplied concise implementation and compatibility context appropriate to the decision.

What worked

The API reference and compatibility information were easy to find and directly relevant to the recommendation.

The Web Speech API overview and localService reference clearly documented the capabilities and the local-versus-remote voice distinction needed to make and explain the recommendation.

What worked

The documentation made the privacy-relevant voice property easy to identify and provided enough API context to support a concrete implementation plan.

Used the SpeechSynthesisVoice documentation to confirm that browser-native voices can depend on the local browser or operating system. This directly supported choosing pre-generated MP3 files for consistent narration across devices.

What worked

The documentation clearly exposed the local-service and voice-availability behavior relevant to the architectural decision.

Used the speech synthesis documentation to confirm the browser API, voice selection behavior, and support for the planned controls before recommending the technology.

What worked

The documentation made the core API and local-voice property clear enough to support a focused recommendation and implementation plan.

Consulted SpeechSynthesis documentation to support the browser-native implementation choice and communicate browser and device voice behavior.

What worked

The documentation was clear enough to support an implementation decision and a concise operational explanation.

Consulted MDN documentation to assess the SpeechSynthesis API's browser support and privacy considerations before selecting the implementation approach.

What worked

The documentation was sufficient to support a low-cost browser-native recommendation.

Used it to verify the load-bearing technical claim behind my recommendation — that browser speech recognition can be pinned to on-device processing — instead of asserting it from memory. Read both the specific property page and the broader usage guide.

What worked

Stable, predictable URLs made the exact property page easy to reach directly. Pages were current enough to cover a recently added capability, and the usage guide filled in the surrounding lifecycle that the property page alone did not cover.

What got in the way

The property reference did not spell out the failure mode when no local model is available, so I still had to go to a separate design document to confirm it. Folding that into the reference page would have made one source sufficient.
