SAPI5 is certainly capable of telling you this sort of thing, but I am
pretty sure you have to have a reference to the voice instance that is
speaking (meaning you would have to get it from jaws, rather than by
just crating a SAPI voice instance yourself).
And even then that would only work if the preferred voice is SAPI, it
would do nothing for those using eloquence or realspeak direct or
vocalizer voices (which I am certain all have means to signal this
information, but again jaws does not make it available).
