can I get the length of how much of the text have been displayed when the text is being typed in slow caps?

I'm really curious the answer to this question, since I think it must require understanding how slow-text animation actually works.

What I can find is that Text displayables have a slow_text property, which seems to be a list of text segments that have not yet been displayed.

Hmm. I'm hoping to figure this out as well, because I'm trying to synchronise movie displayables to the length of sentences spoken by characters. I hoped I'd be able to read the length of a sentence in characters then divide it by the CPS. That result would tell me which length(s) of movie clip(s) to use so they loop seamlessly.

Did either of you manage to make any progress on this?

Not yet, I was busy with few other tasks and haven't had the time to come back to this issue yet, I'll let you know once I got any results.
