Please keep in mind:
HyperTalk is a programming language - MacinTalk is a speech synthesis
program.
There is a speech simulator for HyperCard around - quite new
with an actor on the screen which uses a graph to phoneme transformation.
sorry I forgot its name.
If you want just speech as output use MacRecorder. It's SW has a HyCard
interface.

Marshall's advice on where to get Macintalk is good, but he is not quite
right about the relationship between Macintalk & Hypertalk. Macintalk
is a Mac system document that synthesises speech from written text.
Hypertalk is the simplified object-oriented programming language used by
HyperCard. In order to do speech synthesis, HyperCard in fact uses
Macintalk via several external commands (XCMDs) that are floating around
and should be available from some of the same sources Marshall suggests.
