I would very much like to see voice capability on My Mac but I am not sure
that MacIntalk is what I really want. It is the best that I have seen
so far but...
It only speaks American English
It is a pain to get it to say something different. There was an application
came out around '85, SmartTalk{?}. It would read text files. Unfortunatly,
it was not easy to understand.
The voice is very metallic.
What I would like to see....
CDEV system application.
Run same language as the System
Read text files
be able to read user generated scripts triggered by the system or other
applications {ie user defined audio dialog boxes}
be easily understandable by someon who is near-by but not paying any
attention to the computer.
Oh yes, I want it to run on my 128K Mac under system 1.1 ;*)
