Hi,
I'm not sure what you mean by speech recognition.

1/ if you are talking about navigating through the menus thanks to the
voice, I believe this is the job of the Operating System. On Windows,
there are some speech recognition tools
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/common-speech-recognition-commands#1TC=windows-7.
I'm pretty sure KDE has something in the same line. It should work
already.

2/ if you are talking about entering notes, symbols etc... the first
step would be to implement a better navigation scheme as defined in
"Accessibility for visual impaired people". Once done, the operating
system speech recognition engine could probably used to trigger these
navigation commands.

3/ Once the navigation scheme is in place. In particular the status
bar display mentioned in the idea. An interesting job is the resersed
of speech recognition, meaning text to speech. The end goal of
displaying the current measure, part, note etc... is to have the
computer saying it using screen readers such as NVDA
http://www.nvaccess.org/

So I don't exactly see what you mean by speech recognition. If you
mean building a speech recognition engine in MuseScore, I believe it's
out of the scope of the software. Integration with existing speech
recognition engine on the OS could be a nice idea but I believe screen
reader support should be first.

Hope it helps,
lasconic

Subversion Kills Productivity. Get off Subversion & Make the Move to Perforce.
With Perforce, you get hassle-free workflows. Merge that actually works. 
Faster operations. Version large binaries.  Built-in WAN optimization and the
freedom to use Git, Perforce or both. Make the move to Perforce.
