I don't believe so. It would require an event to monitor speech;
something like: OnSpeechComplete. And this would require synthesizers to
return True to indicate when they've stopped speaking.
I think some of them do, or at least the hardware ones used to.

And trying to create a speech time function would at best be a
calculated guess given the wild variations in actual speed relative to
the speed value depending on the synthesizer being used.
I tried this a long time ago and ended up with unpredictable delays
after speech completed because I had to leave a healthy time buffer to
make sure it worked. And that was only working with one particular
synthesizer.

Tom
