+To add this stuff to Macintosh python (and have some use for it):
+
+1. Obtain a copy of the Speech Manager. It can be found on
+ ftp.apple.com.
+2. Put the Speech.h file from the Speech Manager distribution and
+ macspeechmodule.c in your python Modules directory.
+3. Add the new module to python and build a new python.
+4. Install the Speech Manager (under sys7 the extension goes in the
+ Extensions folder, the data file in the System folder) and reboot.
+5. Try it.
+
+The test program 'hum' does that, you type notes and it hums them
+(badly, addmitted, but that isn't my fault really).
+
+The test program 'grail' is more fun, but you need stdwin support for
+it. It reads the script for the Holy Grail film from the file SCRIPT
+and both animates it (text only:-) on the screen and reads it out the
+speaker. It will use all voices available in the system.
