How to end Threads

I have a function text_to_speach that receives a text and speak it with gtts module:

def text_to_speach(text):
    try:
        tts = gTTS(text=text, lang='fr', tld="com", slow=False)
        tts.save("audio.mp3")  
        playsound.playsound('audio.mp3', False)
        os.remove('audio.mp3')
    except:
        print('Check Speak issue !!!')

That function runs inside a Thread:

def speak(reply):
    thread = Thread(target=text_to_speach, args=(reply,), daemon=True)
    thread.start()

Now every time I run the speak() function it creates a Thread and I don't want it to create multiple Threads.

So I want every time I run speak function the Thread will end after that.

Example:

speak("some text")
#Thread end

speak("some text 2")
#Thread end

speak("some text 3")
#Thread end

So my question is how to end the thread?

Blocking solution:

def speak(reply):
    thread = Thread(target=text_to_speach, args=(reply,), daemon = True)
    thread.start()
    thread.join() # it will block till thread ends
