That depends on how long the line is which is to be spoken. What Jaws does
is to launch the Sayline function, then immediately launch the scheduling
part of ScheduleFunction. You have asked in your code for three-tenths of
a second to pass before the NextLine function is called, so if Sayline takes
longer than that to speak, NextLine will be called before the speaking is
fully over. If that happens, and if you can tell it has, you could always
increase the value of the second parameter of ScheduleFunction, to give more
delay.
