Chrome Speech Synthesis with longer texts

Question

I am getting a problem when trying to use Speech Synthesis API in Chrome 33. It works perfectly with a shorter text, but if I try longer text, it just stops in the middle. A

I have solved the probleme while having a timer function which call the pause() and resume() function and callset the timer again. On the onend event I clear the timer.

    var myTimeout;
    function myTimer() {
        window.speechSynthesis.pause();
        window.speechSynthesis.resume();
        myTimeout = setTimeout(myTimer, 10000);
    }
    ...
        window.speechSynthesis.cancel();
        myTimeout = setTimeout(myTimer, 10000);
        var toSpeak = "some text";
        var utt = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(toSpeak);
        ...
        utt.onend =  function() { clearTimeout(myTimeout); }
        window.speechSynthesis.speak(utt);
    ...

This seem to work well.
