Here's the wiki page where we've started work on speech-related SC's https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Speech_Input_Accessibility_(Guideline_2.7) My hesitation with encouraging developers to simply allow users to turn off single key shortcuts is it leaves some users behind. If the single key shortcut is the only way to do something it's cutting a group of users off from functionality.
