Dear Phil - The reason that Apple Computer does not support MacinTalk, is because we do not have the sources to MacinTalk. MacinTalk was done by a third party back when the Macintosh was only a gleam in Steve Job's eye. When the Macintosh SE and II were under development, we worked to hack the binary of MacinTalk - done by the great Paul Mercer before he joined Apple - so that it would work on the Macintosh SE and Macintosh II. Though we are not supporting MacinTalk, we are looking at supplying speech on the Macintosh. A number of possibilities are under investigation.
