Speech Manager Routines / Starting, Stopping, and Pausing Speech

ContinueSpeech

You can use the ContinueSpeech function to resume speech paused by the PauseSpeechAt function.

FUNCTION ContinueSpeech (chan: SpeechChannel): OSErr;

chan

The paused speech channel on which speech is to be resumed.

DESCRIPTION

At any time after the PauseSpeechAt function is called, the ContinueSpeech function can be called to continue speaking from the beginning of the word in which speech paused. Calling ContinueSpeech on a channel that is not currently in a paused state has no effect on the speech channel or on future calls to the PauseSpeechAt function. If you call ContinueSpeech on a channel before a pause is effective, ContinueSpeech cancels the pause.

If the PauseSpeechAt function stopped speech in the middle of a word, the Speech Manager will start speaking that word from the beginning when you call ContinueSpeech.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

Because the ContinueSpeech function moves memory, you should not call it at interrupt time.
