I might get in touch with Mr Knopper of the Knoppix Project then. He, 
IMHO has inegrated a well working speech recognition in his Linux 
Project Adriane. Adraine is a Linux Distri for blind people. Maybe he 
knows something more...

So, if his speech recognition software/tool or wahtesoever would work it 
could be inegrated into KDE. Did I get you right?

I will contact Mr Knopper and see how mature his speech recognition is. 
Is ist okay, to post once I did get a reply of Mr. Knopper in here?
