--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <[email protected]> ---
An enhancement clearly beyond project scope. Believe this should be set
resolved wontfix--or possibly converted to a Meta.

Each OS requires its own framework for speech recognition.  That framework
would then have to interact with the UNO Accessibility API via a native
accessibility bridge (ATK, IAccessible2, or NS Accessibility).

Marginal support already under OSX with VoiceOver and Dictation (aka SIRI).

ATK support of the Orca project does not implement speech recognition--so
minimal GNOME-Voice-control or Simon listens

And as Microsoft went its own way with UIA (dropping Text Services Framework)
there is nothing integrating IAccessible2 to UIA based Windows Speech
Recognition.

Unfortunately, as there is no "standard" for speech recognition, there is
nothing for the project to implement.

Development would of necessity be external to the project. Where, open source
projects such as Dragonfly (Python), or Sphinx (now Java implemented) offer
some promise of providing speech recognition framework--but at most integration
would be by external API interface, and not into the core. Just as Nuance's
Dragon NS had done in the past.

Improvements to UNO Accessibility API and the native bridges are of course in
scope to accommodate implementation.
