SpeechInUse() actually tells you only whether or not speech, as opposed to Braille output, is being used by the JAWS user. It does not tell you when something is actually being said.

Hi, Is it possible to create a JAWS script that speaks a text with a specified installed voice, then after it finishes, switch back to the default voice? I tried: SetActiveVoiceProfileByName ("Carmen2") SayString(sTrText) SetActiveVoiceProfileByName ("Eloquence") But nothing is spoken. When the function SetActiveVoiceProfileByName() is called the second time, it stops immediately the speech. I have found this by doing: SetActiveVoiceProfileByName ("Carmen2") SayString(sTrText) Delay (50, TRUE ) SetActiveVoiceProfileByName ("Eloquence") This time the text was spoken as wanted, but I wasn't able to use the computer for a few seconds after that, because of the Delay() function. I guess that it is not possible to calculate how much time it would take to speak a certain text with a specified voice, but isn't possible to detect somehow when JAWS finished speaking, in order to be able to switch the voice in that moment? I also tried using SetSynth ("eloq") but it didn't help either. Thanks. --Octavian __________???
