Speach Synthesis Manager Summary: This folder contains information that tells developers how to use Apple's English and Spanish text-to-speech software to let applications talk. You can find more information on Apple's web site at: Along with this text-to-speech developer information, you should find a folder named "PlainTalk 1.5" that contains the "English Text-to-Speech" and "Mexican Spanish Text- to-Speech" installers. Apple's Installer scripts for text-to-speech make sure that the appropriate speech synthesizers are installed for the hardware and system software available. They also take care to remove the outdated versions of text-to -speech. There are currently four speech synthesizers, each with differing requirements. And there have been many previous configurations released, under a variety of names. So getting this right is no simple task. If you ship text-to- speech with your application, please take advantage of Apple's Installer scripts, either by directly licensing and including the "English Text-to-Speech" and/or "Mexican Spanish Text-to-Speech" installers (available both as disk images and as network/hard-disk installers) or by working from the source for the scripts, which is provided here. System requirements are as follows: Mexican Spanish TTS: System 7.0 or later 68020 or better, including PowerPC 1.3 MB RAM MacinTalk 2: System 6.0.7 or later Any Mac CPU 150K RAM MacinTalk 3: System 7.0 or later 33MHz 68030 or faster, 68040, or PowerPC 300K RAM MacinTalk Pro: System 7.0 or later 68040 or PowerPC 1.5 MB RAM For English TTS, you can look at it the other way around: With System 6.0.7, 6.0.8 use MacinTalk 2. With System 7 and 68040 or PowerPC use MacinTalk 3 and MacinTalk Pro. With System 7 and 68030 of 33MHz or faster use MacinTalk 3. With System 7 and a slower processor use MacinTalk 2.
