So far, I've seen a lot of debate about whether Macintalk still works. But
it never did work particularly well...unless you happen to like stuff that
sounds like that. The only application I ever found that benefitted from it
was a kids' game called MacRobots.

My question is:

Has anyone found a speech synthesizer for the Mac that sounds like real speech?
Or is someone working on one?
