Thanks Steve. That's a very good link. I have tried a few inbuilt callbacks like isSpeaking. So far still unable to get it to work as it should. May be it is because I am doing it within the VCL thread and that too within a for loop. Although I dont know why that should matter. I have heard that SAPI 5.3 has a new function WaitUntilDone that I think would be so useful. However how to get the download of it. Unlike previous versions, this is part of platform SDKs. I am using Windows XP SP3.
