kde and speech

[Mario Fux]

Morning

And regarding KDE Applications and KDE Plasma we did quite some work regarding 
accessibility this year at the Randa Meetings. See https://community.kde.org/
Sprints/Randa/2017#Blogs or planet.kde.org in general for things we did.

There were some tests of using Plasma with Orca so there is some progress.
