I think allocating a runloop is hardly ever what you need: there's one  
already, and you want to get that:

   runLoop = NSRunLoop.mainRunLoop()

This indeed brings up the speech listener window-let (Can't test it,  
no microphone right now).

This is a paradigm you'll come across often in Cocoa: there's a lot of  
objects of which there is one instance per application, and there's a  
class method to get that instance. NSApplication, NSFontManager,  
NSNotificationCentre, too many to mention, really.
