[jawsscripts] silence in between Saying two messages

Hi friends,
I think the following can be a solution for 

Saying two messages with a specific period of silence in between

I sent it for test and I was waiting to get feedback on test result from any 
one who is interesting.  But I did not get any answer yet. 

I want to know does this one work on same way with different computer speed and 
TTS as it works on my computer?

In this program, (That is my first time Scripting in jaws), I am using Pause

function to provide two type of delay.

One delay to provide enough time that is required to speech the first

string, and second delay for requested silence time after reading the first

string.

because the speed rate of voice is assigned by user, I get this value by

using the following function that return the current voice speech rate:

GetSettingInformation (V_RATE,VCTX_GLOBAL , MinRate, MaxRate)

The first and second parameters are two Constant which are coming from

hjconst.jsh" header file. (notice to, the "Include" statement before start

of script). and the third and forth parameters ar two variable which get the

minimum and maximum of the speed rate of Voice Context or any things that

is requested by the two first parameters.

after that I am finding the length of the first string. Then in a formula

all this values are combining together with silence time and two other

constant numbers.

The number 28 is for balancing the Rate and the number 6 is for balancing

the requested silence time.

All of them make the total number of the time that we are using the Pause

function.

As I said, the calculation is not very accurate but it works for the

different string length. As you all know, it is easier to convert this

script to a function. In this case the function has to include two

parameters, FirstString and SilenceTime. and the return value, can be an

integer to show if the function end by itself or someone hit a key to end it

manually.

the function "StopSpeech ()", is good for make any speech off before, and

after the using saystring command..

Please let me know if it works for you. I Will be happy to get any

feedback.

include "hjconst.jsh"





Script TestScripting ()

var int count

var int CurrentRate, int MinRate, int MaxRate, int StrLen, int SilenceSecond

var string FirstString, String secondString

let SilenceSecond = 3

let FirstString="The Script Manager is a JAWS script editing program with

all the features necessary for you to create scripts"

let secondString="So, continue Talking."

let CurrentRate=GetSettingInformation (V_RATE,VCTX_GLOBAL , MinRate,

MaxRate)

let StrLen=StringLength (FirstString)

let count = (StrLen / CurrentRate +1) * 28 + SilenceSecond * 6

StopSpeech ()

saystring(FirstString)

While (count > 0) && (not IsKeyWaiting ())

Pause ()

let count = count - 1

EndWhile

StopSpeech ()

SayString (secondString)

EndScript
