It should be possible to drive <input type="speech"> with keyboard

microphone API and a separate speech recognizer, since the latter
would be very hard to make accessible. (I still think that there
should be a microphone API for applications like audio chat, but
that's a separate discussion).
So why not implement speech support on top of the existing input types?
