Again thanks, this app to me shows how this community succeeded where nokia failed...

Looks like pocketsphinx, including python bindings is available from extras
So technically, it might be quite easy to integrate - but it remains to be seen how accurate it is.
BTW, any idea how to actually use it ?
I was thinking about:
  • adding a button to the text entry popup, that would enable to enter text by speaking
  • voice commands for some actions (reroute, zoom in,zoom out,...)?
I'd have to check how does it actually works - eq. if I can have it run all the time and try to find commands in the text it produces or to have some trigger action that enables it fore limited time, CPU usage, etc...

Go to tracklogs, select some category and some tracklog from it. Then go to its tools menu and tap the "no tracks visible" button.
I know, it is unnecessary complicated, but will be improved soon.
