Building this in JS would not be too difficult using the speech to text API, if that's available to you.

I'm not aware of an extension that does this out of the box though.

I assume you are referring to the SpeechRecognition interface of the Web Speech API. Unfortunately this is not supported by Firefox and even for Chrome it doesn't work offline.
