A wrapper for Julius  (http://julius.sourceforge.jp/en_index.php) may be a
good idea here. Julius is opensource and works even in embedded devices ( I
guess it depends on the size of the vocabulary) The problem with this one is
that the technology of speech recognition is still not very mature. Users
can be very upset when you close what it was to be open.

I think that the search functionality right now does a pretty good job and
also I don't know how many people really use the help... KDE apps are
intuitive enough.

This is  more or less the same than my point 2.
