Can one pause revSpeak?

[Jim Hurley]

I use Run Rev to read articles back to me. I find that it is a useful 
writing tool, both for purposes of style and finding typos. There is 
a big difference between the written and spoken word and it is 
helpful to have both at one's disposal.

I have a little stack for this purpose. Very  simple. Two buttons and 
a text field. The script for the start button is:

on mouseUp
   get the selectedText
   if it is "" then get field 1
   revspeak it
end mouseUp

And the stop button is just revStopSpeech.

But as I listen, I find things I want to change. This means stopping 
speech, making the  change (in Word, not in the RR field) and then 
selecting the text from the stop point.

It would be nice if I had  "Pause" and "Resume" buttons which would 
allow me to pick up where I left off without  having to find the stop 
point and re-select the text.

Anyone know if a way to "pause" revSpeak" and then pick up  where you left off?
