Nice work. I don't use dictation, but anything that helps in this area is awesome to see. > what I need to know is how to detect events such as focus changes, and > currently active window and application. later on, it would be useful to > know how to operate on text areas (searching, selecting region etc.). At-spi is likely your best bet here. You can either use libatspi or talk directly via dbus to the at-spi registry daemon. Orca is a good example of a good at-spi client. The good news is that Qt supports at-spi rather well these days, so Qt applications will likely be usable for dictation users as well.
