how to stop speechSpeakUtterance handler

[joseggarza]

Does anyone know how to stop the speechSpeakUtterance handler process?

When I send a fairly long paragraph, I would like to be able to end it at any desired moment and not have to wait until it finishes speaking it in its entirety.

From the dictionary

Use the revStopSpeech command to let the user interrupt a lengthy speech, or to stop a speech before it's finished.

You can use the revIsSpeaking function to determine whether there's currently a speech in progress.

I think that is different to the new (since v 9.6) library for Mac OS, iOS and Android.

A snippet I found from jacque shows you should be able to do this by

Code: Select all

speechSpeakUtterance(empty)

I already tried that, but it did not work, it adds to a queue to speak instead..

I found one solution. I dont know if that is the best solution, but it works. I had to Finalize the library and initialize it again.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp pButtonNumber
    speechFinalizeLibrary
    speechInitializeLibrary
end mouseUp
