It isn't really a bug, it's that Rev doesn't support speakable items. 
You might be able to write an external to do it. (The same was true of 
HyperCard too, which also did not natively support speech recognition.) 
Text-to-speech is a different thing from speech recognition, and apps 
have to be written specifically to support each of them independently.
