while events and methods are always accessed via the speechInput namespace, I'm
not sure if types are. Can you check? Would this cause a name clash with any
other api if that api also uses the name 'ResultEvent' as a type name? In that
case a prefix of 'SpeechInput' may be appropriate for all types of this api

Looks like you're right. I've tried to use a different name for the same type
contents inside the accessibility namespace and it keeps working. I'm prefixing
SpeechInput to all the local types.
