Hi, Yes. There is a function called IsSpeaking. It returns 1 if JAWS is currently speaking, 0 if not.

Is there something specific you had in mind here?

I thought that you could make jfwapi.dll run a JAWS script or function. If you can run a function, you may be able to get a return code back from it. If I had the scripting reference here, I'd look up some candidate function names and send them to you. Sorry about that.

First is if the sound card or other synthesizer is working. Second test is if jaws is sending ascii to the synthesizer. Answers both have to be yes for complete success.
