Speech Manager Routines

Starting, Stopping, and Pausing Speech

You can use the SpeakString function to generate speech from strings of fewer than 256 characters. The SpeakText function also generates speech, but through a speech channel through which you can exert control over the generated speech. The SpeakBuffer function includes all the capabilities of SpeakText and allows you to set certain flags that control speech behavior.

To stop speech, use the StopSpeech function or the StopSpeechAt function. The latter provides control over when speech is stopped. To pause and later resume speech, use the PauseSpeechAt and ContinueSpeech functions.
