there's speechdispatcher in fedora that is used by kde and gnome and I
currently maintain it. It was also at some point used by olpc as the
spec file use to have olpc specifics in it. There's been renewed
interest with it upstream and I'm working to get it into better shape
for F-14 and once its cleaned up I'll push updates back to F-13 and
probably F-12.
