Oh ok, so Bridger was thinking that the functionality is already integrated
into the dedktop environment, whereas I was thinking that Bridger is
willing to implement the integration into KDE.

The speech recognition engines convert speech files to text, they don't
have any OS integration. But it's not that hard to implement basic OS
integration by getting speech recognition to emulate pressing keys on a
keyboard. I hacked together my own basic scripts for doing that. You could
turn my script into something more convenient to use:

Cheers,
Shervin.
