This issue has been analyzed by Opera. Duolingo uses the Web Speech API to handle microphone input. The speech-to-text engine in the Chromium source code for the Web Speech API uses a specific service on Google's servers. However, API access to the service is limited to official Chrome builds. Other builds of Chromium aren't allowed to have the access keys to use the service, which is why it breaks in Opera. To make this work, Opera would have to write their own engine that uses a different speech-to-text service (that they write and provide themselves, or one from another company that they pay to use). Or, Duolingo would have to use a different method to analyze the speech to convert it to text.

Interesting news. Let's see if either one of those will work on the issue. Meanwhile, it seems we're limited to using Duolingo on Chrome or Chromium.
Thanks for the head up! This case seems to be closed until we have either of the solutions you outlined.
