I was wondering if its possible to track when a speech is complete so I can switch the play button image back to play.

The issue is when I click play, I make it change the play button icon to stop icon but when speech is complete, it does not switch back to play because there is nothing to help track when speech is complete.

Nope. This is a needed feature for speech recognition in Thunkable but it doesn’t exist yet.
