Here maybe a solution to speech in X Windows:

[Sean Murphy]

Hi Janina

One question?

1.  Is apple planning in the future to introduce alternative solutions for
those developers who aren't going to use the Accessibility objects of the
Apple development environment?

If not, then the product is going to be limited to applications that follow
Apples Accessibility specs.  This could be very limiting in the long term.
I will say that they have taken the right approach, that is including the
accessibility as part of the develpment environment, instead of the MSAA
approach.

again, the voice interface Apple is building relies on applications using
the Apple developer tools according to spec. Where they go off spec, those
apps will not be accessible. Here's the headline, X is not developed with
that toolkit.
