As far as I can determine, SpeechInUse does not work this way.
when I used this function I returned a value of 2 whether or not Jaws
was speaking.
If you did a while loop while speechInUse () the loop will not
terminate. The only way I could get SpeechInUse to return false or zero
was to set my speech profile to no speech.

SpeechInUse() is the analogous JAWS function.
