This is a very clever suggestion actually, and one I think I tried
once but forgot about. It may help, but I still doubt it will work as
well as you'd like. The SayAll process does not actually keep code
execution in precise sync with speech. You can stop SayAll on an
exact word, but this is actually done by retreating to that word
rather than literally catching JAWS in the act of saying it.
The SayAll system does prove, however, that JAWS internally has enough
information to implement something like I suggested before, direct
access to synthesizer indexing functionality.

This is a hack, but you can do a SayAll in the user buffer, and tell
when it completes with the SayAllStoppedEvent function. You could
either speak the second message within that function, or use that event
handler to set a global variable indicating that a SayAll has stopped.
Your script would go into a While loop testing the global variable
before exiting.
