Also, regardless whether you would be trying to tie in a custom chorded keyboard, plug in voice recognition or control your computer with a single muscle there would be a certain overlap in integration with computer software. That'd be the rationelle for creating a repository / loose collection of interoperable solutions so that when you have e.g. a great voice recognition platform you could have it working with N platforms straight away. Instead of having all the new interface attempts having to write all of this boilerplate from scratch. Let's say interface for eclipse, ubuntu, windows, chrome, ...

Along with benchmarks for testing the performance and in a more or less sciency fashion compare them to each other. An overlap would also exist in other areas such as word prediction and probably many more.

Talon isn’t a fundamentally just a voice control framework. It’s a general platform for bolting on accessibility tooling, because as you’ve said a lot of the requirements are related.

ah really glad to hear that! Will need to get a linux laptop as well. Am using a macbook for work now but I'd like to have a linux box as well. Will try out on several platforms as well! Will try to give you feedback on what I think!
