You can determine whether your application has paused a synthesizer’s speech output by obtaining the status property through the object(forProperty:) method. While a synthesizer is paused, the speech status information indicates that outputBusy and outputPaused are both true.
If the end of the string being spoken is reached before the specified pause point, speech output pauses at the end of the string.
