Hi,
This is essentially correct.
SpeechInUse () returns TRUE if a synthesiser is enabled. It has no baring at
all on whether or not the synthisiser is actually speaking.
As for the other question, one message to the synthisiser does not interrupt
the one before it. This would seem to indicate that they do queue up.

As I understand things currently, there is no function which is able to
determine whether your synthesizer is speaking at any given time. I
think that your last suggestion comes closest to defining what the
SpeechInUse will indicate. IE Is speech enabled at the moment.
there have been posts on the list which suggest methods to determine if
Jaws is speaking a particular string of text based on the speech rate
and the length of the string etc. but I am not aware of any way to
determine that the synthesizer you are using is currently speaking.

The FSDN does not clearly indicate exactly what the SpeechInUse
function does. Will it return True if JAWS is busy speaking? If a user
is in an application and is actively navigating with arrow keys or
listening to JAWS read in a SayAll function, should this function in a
default script return true? Does JAWS actually continue to process
other functions in these cases, or is it on hold while speaking? Is
there a queue or buffer for things being spoken, or is that function put
on hold while speaking before being allowed to continue? Or does this
function simply mean something else like Speech is enabled?
Hope I am not confusing everyone with my confusion!
