Only with declares.  (And no, I don't have any handy -- in the past I've
done some speech stuff with declares on the Mac, but it turned out to be
hairier than it looked.  Just checking whether the computer is speaking
might be easier though.)


function IsSpeaking() as boolean
  #if TargetMacOS
    soft Declare Function SpeechBusy Lib "Carbon" () as Short

    dim r As short

    try
      r = SpeechBusy()

      if r > 0 Then
        Return True
      end if
      return False
    Catch
      Return False
    end try

  #endif
