Using "this" in Vuejs 2.0

Question

I am new in VueJS. I am having a small problem that i could not figure it out. Hope some one can give me a hint.

I am creating a voice search button, basically when i click the voice button then it would record my voice and print it out to the input attribute in form.

<input type="text" name="inputSearch" id="inputSearch"
v-model="inputSearch" class="form-control" x-webkit-speech>

This is my script in VueJS

<script>
export default {
        data() {
          return {
                    inputSearch: '',
                    show: false
                 }
        },
        methods: {
          voiceSearch: function(event){
                    this.inputSearch = '';
                    this.show = false;
                    if (window.hasOwnProperty('webkitSpeechRecognition')) {
                    var recognition             = new webkitSpeechRecognition();
                    recognition.continuous      = false;
                    recognition.interimResults  = false;
                    recognition.lang            = "en-US";
                    recognition.start();
                    recognition.onresult = function(e) {
                    this.inputSearch = e.results[0][0].transcript;
                     recognition.stop();
                        };
                    recognition.onerror = function(e) {
                          alert('There are something wrong...');
                          recognition.stop();
                    };



                    }else {
                      alert('Your browser does not support HTML5/WebKitSpeech. You are not able to use this functionality');
                    }

          }

        }
    }
</script>

I am able to get the text from the voice recoginization but can not show it in the input form.

Thanks,

Instead of using function use arrow syntax of ES6, which keeps scope of this intact, like this:

                recognition.onresult = (e) => {
                   this.inputSearch = e.results[0][0].transcript;
                   recognition.stop();
                };
                recognition.onerror = function(e) {
                      alert('There are something wrong...');
                      recognition.stop();
                };

or other option is to save this in some other variable and use that variable like following:

                var that = this
                recognition.onresult = function(e) {
                  that.inputSearch = e.results[0][0].transcript;
                  recognition.stop();
                };
                recognition.onerror = function(e) {
                      alert('There are something wrong...');
                      recognition.stop();
                };
