Here's an excerpt:
For the introduction of the Macintosh computer, it was decided (by the powers formerly in charge) that such a computer
would need something very special to make it a unique event. To aid in this concept, a third-party company was contracted
to write a speech synthesizer which would allow the Macintosh computer to introduce itself. The contract was signed, and
the work begun.
The outcome of this work was MacinTalk. MacinTalk is a file that can be placed into the System Folder of an ordinary
Macintosh computer and allow text to be transformed into speech for the introduction in 1984. It was felt to be an
interesting piece of software, so Apple made it available to developers. Interfaces to MacinTalk were published and Apple
Software Licensing allowed it to be included with developers' products.
