Hey Sherman, I tried writing voice commands for Ubiquity a couple of months ago using OSX leopard's builtin voice recognition. It's pretty decent and it allows you to write your own commands. But I stopped working on cos there's a lack of documentation and I couldn't figure out how to write commands.
Basically, you would press the system-wide hotkey and then, say something like "ubiquity google cats". It would open ubiquity and insert the rest of the text into the ubiquity box. The idea is simple enough with no special UI for voice commands. I'll attempt to write this again this week. Do you know if firefox extensions that do voice recognition (cross-platform or otherwise)? What approach do you suggest?
