synthesis to the Speech Server.
* _Speech Server_ is the server application that implements Speech
Synthesis Interface Protocol, as described in this document, and
provides an interface for client applications.
* _Client_ or _client application_ is every application that connects
to Speech Server and talks to it through the Speech Synthesis
Interface Protocol. In other words, this is the application that
"wants to speak".
* _Message_ is a chunk of text that a client sends to Speech Server
to request saying something or play some sound.
* _To cancel a message_ means to stop saying it and/or remove it from

removed from the history, where it was stored after being received
by Speech Server.
