Well, the Booting idea, would be great but totally impossible. At least as
an app. Simply due to the fact, that without the OS (Windows) loaded, how
would any app run. You would need a quite more complicated piece of
software, that would access both the graphics and the sound card of your
computer. I wish such a software had been around, but it definitely falls
outside the scope of an app.
When comes to the BIOS thing, you might dream. Basically, this could have
been performed. Problem is, that the coding languages used to write apps,
usually would not be granted access to this vital part of your computer.
Windows itself - if you want - will not permit an app to get to the BIOS.
Well, that was the basics of it. But my HP computer, for one, comes with a
software that can be loaded, that will give you some access to the BIOS.
Problem is, that speech does not work in that software. Apping such software
to work with speech, would have been great. And this, is why I said you
could be dreaming. It might be possible, but would depend on someone
building an app for each manufacturer's software. And, there would be many
computers out there, that has no such software either. Not even sure, if the
software grants you full access to the BIOS, or only a few features. In the
old DOS days, I wrote a small program myself, that did access the more
important parts of the BIOS, and that worked for a period. Then came
Windows, and it tends to rule the computer a bit more due to its own mind.

Probably impossible, but How about an app that gives you speech access to
the
operating system while it boots?
Or
How about an app that lets you peek at, and edit the BIOS content?
See, impossible, huh?
