14.10. Built-in Module macspeech
This module provides an interface to the Macintosh Speech Manager,
allowing you to let the Macintosh utter phrases. You need a version of
the speech manager extension (version 1 and 2 have been tested) in
your Extensions folder for this to work. The module does not
provide full access to all features of the Speech Manager yet. It may
not be available in all Mac Python versions.
