Unfortunately there is no airtight solution to this problem. Even if
you just consider Eloquence, users can vary the timing by changing the
speech rate, which renders the pause-with-delay technique ineffective.
If you take other synthesizers into account, the problem multiplies
beyond tractability because there is no way at all to detect when some
synthesizers are done saying something. I think the best solution
would be to get Freedom Scientific to give us some sort of direct
access to the active synthesizer's indexing feature, for synthesizers
that support this. That would be a modification to the JAWS scripting
language though. I see no sufficiently effective solution without
such a modification.

Hi folks,
I would like JAWS to say two messages with exactly two-second silence in
between.
Neither Delay (20), nor twenty Pause () commands works,
since both starts right after the first message is sent to the TTS, not when
it's completely spoken.
I tried counting number of words in the first message,
and calculating the time needed for it to be completely spoken using the
current speech rate.
The result varies based on the total number of sylabels in the message.
Can you think of a better solution?
As far as I know, there is no function such as TtsIsDoneEvent or IsTtsBusy.
Thanks,
Camille
