Hi Patrick, in answer to your three questions:

1) It is a system extension that enables programs that you run to 
produce synthesized human speech. Only programs that know how to
use Macintalk will benefit. Microsoft Word (as far as I know) won't
benefit from your having Macintalk in your system folder.

2) You might find it available for download on a local BBS. You
could buy 'The Talking Moose' from one of the mail order outfits. 
The Talking Moose ships with Macintalk. It's a DA that pops up on
your screen and says something using the Macintalk synthesized speech.

3) Don't know if it works with system 7, but I would imagine that
if it's shipping commercially with 'The Talking Moose' that it does.
No publisher in his right mind would distribute software these
days that isn't system 7 compatible.
