However, as no agreed "standard" exists for Speach recognition services, that lessens the potential of implementing cross platform support. On the Windows platform, Apache OpenOffice, IBM Symphony before that, and now LibreOffice implement the Linux Foundation IAccessible2 (v1.3) accessibility API. It is providing the AT hooks needed to implement Windows Speech Recognition (MSSR) to both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice via legacy MSAA and Text Services Framework but it will likely never integrate with Microsoft UI Automation. Realistically it remains for projects external to Apache OpenOffice to implement Speech Recognition AT for mobility impaired users who would benefit from that AT. At present Microsoft has gone its own way with UI and MSSR. And Nuance, with its current Dragon NS 12--Full Text Control function--looks to again have omitted Apache OpenOffice and TDF LibreOffice support for UNO API, and only supporting Microsoft productivity products. So, while it is possible we might see a Nuance DNS commercial module, I'd lean more to an Extension for AOO/LibreOffice using the Python based Dragonfly speech recognition framework and a AOO/LibreOffice specific command-module for the Microsoft WSR for use on Windows. Perhaps a cross over from the NVDA community. So, this enhancement has merit, but it is not a bug or omission in the Apache OpenOffice project. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the issue.
