Implement a call to the speech recognition engine for composing text on capable phones
Registered by
Jorge Silva
Starting with froyo (Android 2.2), it is possible to use the built-in speech recognition engine from Google in order to compose text. If possible the Tekla keyboard should include a speech button on phones that provide this facility.
In its simplest form, the button should trigger an intent for speech input.
Another requirement is the ability to use a bluetooth source for voice input if one is currently paired.

Whiteboard
The intent idea is working well but had to be implemented through an external activity since the IME does not support a direct call. An explicit intent will be used to return the results to the IME.
