# kSpeechNoSpeechInterrupt

Do not interrupt current speech.

## Declaration

```swift
let kSpeechNoSpeechInterrupt: CFString
```

## Discussion

Discussion The kSpeechNoSpeechInterrupt key is used to control the behavior of SpeakCFString(_:_:_:) when it is called on a speech channel that is busy. When kSpeechNoSpeechInterrupt is not specified in the options dictionary (or if it is specified with the value kCFBooleanFalse), SpeakCFString immediately interrupts the speech currently being produced on the specified speech channel and the new aString text is spoken. When kSpeechNoSpeechInterrupt is specified with the value kCFBooleanTrue, the request to speak on a speech channel that is already busy causes the new aString text to be ignored and the synthNotReady error to be returned.
