--- Comment #5 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
As a cross platform program supporting Linux, OS X and Windows
environments--the UNO Accessibility API will remain the basis of support for
AT. 

It remains for external projects to implement AT for mobility impaired users
who would benefit from speech recognition.

Microsoft TSF is in "legacy" status. And currently no agreed "standard" exists
for Speach recognition. 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.

In the not too distant future, a full implementation of a native IAccessible2
(v1.3) standard based bridge for Windows OS will provide the AT hooks needed to
implement Windows speech recognition to both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

That might be a Nuance DNS commercial module, or I'd lean more to an Extension
for AOO/LibreOffice useing the Python based Dragonfly speech recognition
framework and a AOO/LibreOffice specific command-module for Microsoft WSR.
Perhaps a cross over from the NVDA community.
