Is JFWStopSpeech returning True? I am not a C programmer, so am guessing that you are using the static version of the jfwapi library to compile its functions into your executable. Though less direct, it may be worth calling the dynamic link library instead to check if that makes a diffrence with this function. Failing that, you might also try the COM version of the library. Another approach would be to read text a line at a time and detect a key press such as the Control key to stop speech.

When using the JFWRunScript function this work fine but when using the JFWStopSpeech function within the following function the speech is not stoppedc as it should be. Anyone got any idea given the following code? extern "C" void WINAPI RunCommand( LPSTR pszCommand) { if (pszCommand =="Stop Talking") { bool state; state =JFWStopSpeech(); } } As you can see the jfwapi.h file is included, and the library is beeing linked to in theproject options. Any help or ideas greatfully recieved.
