Hello Lasconic,
I meant the latter. Not just navigating the menus through speech, but
giving a command (eg: I want to compose a score with piano, guitar, and
vocals) and having the speech recognition component (integrated with the
OS' engine) take care of all the steps involved (create new score-> add
instruments etc.) We sure need to have a proper screen reader friendly
status line display and a text-to-speech in place. So yes, my idea was to
make this process interactive, rather than having the user to enter all the
commands through the keyboard (or have the system speak out the options one
by one, and select from them). So once we can have screen reader support
and a better navigation system, we can work on integrating it with the
speech recognition engine on the OS, triggering the desired results.

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.
