The BBC has learnt of Apple's new spoken interface for Mac OS X 10.4, as was unveiled by MacRumors a while ago. The article (Here for anyone interested) says it's a good thing. However, "future" things like the zoom interface have always been in Mac OS X.

It doesn't actually say they're future features, but it is a little vague in that context.

Spoken Interface is part of a bundle of accessibility features which include a screen magnifier, contrast enhancements and the ability to replicate mouse actions using the keyboard.

I think what it's trying to say is that Mac OS X already has these accessibility features, but the Spoken Interface will be improved on in Tiger.
 
"If the rumours are true, RNIB welcomes this initiative - accessibility built into mainstream systems is critical if we're to move forward.

What rumors? It's a new feature of 10.4 openly advertised on Apple's page itself. Since when did Apple.com become a rumor site?
