You've put your finger on the problem Geoff. Has anybody investigated the
function isSpeaking? It only appears to be available for the PACMate. The
FSDN says:
Function: IsSpeaking
Description
Checks to see if any text is currently being spoken.
Returns
Type: Int
Description: TRUE if synthesizer is speaking, FALSE otherwise.
Parameters
No Parameters
Version
This function is available in the following releases:
1.. PAC Mate 1.10 and later
