I'd like to finally get Qt Speech in as Tech Preview in Qt 5.8. Only the text 
to speech parts, unless someone does major work on future proofing the speech 
recognition parts before the release.

I'll start adding it to qt5.git - it already got green light for Qt 5.6 and 
got pushed further and further out since it had some compile issues at the 
time and everything got too tight schedule wise.
Please let me know if there's some reason not to add it.

Please also look through the API for inconsistencies and general blunders. 
It's a really small API, so shouldn't take much time. Maybe there's also stuff 
missing - I know there was a request to serialize and deserialize the current 
voice selection, that might for example be nice to add if anyone wants to work 
on a fun small module ;-)

Cheers,
Frederik
