How Macintalk Works

-- part contents for background part 8
----- text -----
Basically, Macintalk is a software speech driver that produces speech on demand. After the Macintalk driver is initialized, strings to be spoken may be delivered to Macintalk either in ordinary english, or in a special phonetic alphabet. The next section† provides details on writing phonetically for Macintalk, which provides the best quality of speech.  In the current section, we will describe the way in which you would use Macintalk in a typical HyperTalk script.

Although this section contains all of the information needed to use the new commands, each command also has a separate card for easy reference (you can access these from the index card).

Most of the new commands simply call standard Macintalk interface procedures.  For those who are already familiar with programming Macintalk in Pascal or C, there is a list of the Macintalk procedures and their HyperTalk equivalents.
