The Apple Macintosh OS 10.x allows one to assign a keyboard shortcut to “start speaking text”,
but will not it allow one to assign a keyboard shortcut to “stop speaking” (text).
Just curious if this is true for everybody’s Mac...or if Apple’s got a wormy one just for me. ;)
Cheers!
Quite often with a Mac, the stop command is the same as the start command. Try using whatever you assigned for start speaking again to see if you can get the bloody thing to stop. Perhaps that will help you worm your way out of the never-ending dialogue :-)

There’s also command-., the near-universal Mac shortcut to stop anything....
