My only query is why C++? Speech-dispatcher and its speech drivers are 
currently all in C, so for consistency, keeping everything in the same language 
would be nice. Don't let me stop you using your preferred programming language 
however. As long as it adhears to the correct protocol for speech drivers 
communciating with speech-dispatcher and is an executable, thats all that 
matters.

There is helper code in the speech-dispatcher module source that does a bit of 
convenience work for all other module code.
