Put this in a new file named "~/Library/Speech/Speakable Items/ 
Application Speakable Items/TextMate/Escape bracket":

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd

Then go to System Preferences -> Speech, and turn on Speakable Items.  
Then allow it to continuously listen for commands, and make sure  
Application Specific Items is checked in the Commands tab. You can  
then escape a single bracket (or even, as a hidden feature, quotation  
mark) simply by telling your computer to do so.
