ISpVoice::SetSyncSpeakTimeout

  • Article

This method sets the timeout interval in milliseconds after which synchronous Speak and SpeakStream calls to this voice will timeout.

HRESULT SetSyncSpeakTimeout(
  ULONG msTimeout
);

Parameters

  • msTimeout
    [in] Value specifying the timeout interval, in milliseconds. The default is 10 seconds. "INFINITE" can also be used to prevent timeouts.

Return Values

The following table shows the possible return values.

Value Description
S_OK Function completed successfully.

Remarks

Timeouts occur when waiting for access to the output object. This means that for a normal priority voice (see ISpVoice::SetPriority for more information on priorities) and an output device which implements ISpAudio, a timeout can occur while waiting to reacquire the output object after an interruption by an alert priority voice. For voices of both normal and alert priorities, a timeout can also occur while waiting to reacquire the output object after the voice has been paused and resumed (see ISpVoice::Pause and ISpVoice::Resume).

Wait times are not accumulated - that is, if a voice waits for n milliseconds to initially acquire the output object, and is then paused and resumed, it will again wait for up to msTimeout milliseconds to reacquire the output object, not msTimeout - n milliseconds.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.1 and later.
Header: Sapi.h, Sapi.idl.
Link Library: Sapilib.lib.
