	Encyclopedia: Macintalk
		PlainTalk is the collective name for several speech synthesis (MacInTalk) and speech recognition technologies, developed by Apple Computer.
		It was used by Apple in the introduction of the Macintosh in 1984, to let the personal computer introduce itself to the world.
		MacInTalk 3 required a 33 MHz 68030 processor and MacInTalk Pro required a 68040 or better and at least 1 MB of RAM.

	Re: Macintalk vs. Macintalk 3 vs. Macintalk Pro vs. etc
		Neither one is the original Macintalk (which didn't use voice files and sounded absolutely horrible).
		Macintalk 3 is formant synthesis, i.e., speech is generated from general principles about how a human voice works (mixing in sampled sounds in some of the voices).
		Macintalk Pro is concatenative synthesis: Recordings of an actual human being were cut up into small elements and those elements are reassembled to form the generated speech.

		You may find that Macintalk has an easier time of it than you do.
		Open it in SimpleText on a machine with the latest Macintalk installed (for those of you with Developer CDs, 1.2.1 is on the August CD) and have it speak this in various voices.
		There are a handful of words it mispronounces, but on the whole it does a lot better than most people around my work.

		If you edit the pronunciation of a word using a voice that belongs to the MacinTalk 3 family, it may not be pronounced correctly when you are using a voice that belongs to the MacinTalk Pro family.
		For example, change the pronunciation of a word using a MacinTalk 3 voice (such as Fred).
		Correct the pronunciation again, if necessary, so that the word will be pronounced correctly no matter which family of voices is used.

		More MacinTalk Pro Voices are included with "High Quality" and "Small" versions of Agnes, Bruce and Victoria (TTS Agnes, high quality; TTS Agnes, small; TTS Bruce, high quality; TTS Bruce, small; TTS Victoria, high quality; and TTS Victoria, small).
		There are 3 different versions of the 3 MacinTalk Pro voices, e.g., "TTS Bruce" (803 kB); "TTS Bruce, small" (343 kB); and "TTS Bruce, high quality" (2.4 MB) all represent different tradeoffs in size & quality.

	Resource Management
		The Speech Synthesiser being used is the Macintosh Speech Manager (AKA MacinTalk) and as per most synthesisers which have JSAPI interfaces this is a native implementation; not all of the resources allocated exist within the direct control of the garbage collected Java memory management model.
		A change from Victoria to Bruce would work as these are both MacinTalk Pro voices, but a change from Fred to Bruce would not, as Fred is a MacinTalk 3 voice.
		I have an application that uses one MacinTalk Pro voice and one MacinTalk 3 voice and it runs quite happily with a native partition of 3MB (this is over generous, 2..2.5MB would probably be enough).

		Having got it all working with Macintalk II, with multiple voices, I used the installer to add Staz's Apple Events.
		Each element (Macintalk II and Apple Events) ran perfectly in isolation, so I had a look at Staz's "Utilities.GLBL" file which the Apple Events installer adds to the project.
		The Utilities.GLBL file duplicates a number of the globals used by Macintalk II, but because they're in different GLBL files, the compiler doesn't pick it up.

		For a voice to be supported or active, the corresponding synthesizer needs to be installed in the Extensions folder for that voice type.

		If the voice file has a generic document icon, then the corresponding synthesizer is not present on the disk.
