One may want to extend the application to make it more flexible and modular, so that, for example, one could add a module that would add the voice commands and resulting actions.

Having voice output would be convenient as well, making it more aligned with the current commercial offerings. For this, one could use the text-to-speech API that's available in the Qt framework.
