The Talking Mouse

The Talking Mouse 1.2 The Talking Mouse uses Apple's MacinTalk(tm) text-to-speech synthesis technology to create an on-screen animated character who appears and talks to you throughout the day as you use your Mac. The Talking Mouse watches you as you work, and when you pause for awhile (you control how long) pops up and offers a wise or witty comment, actually lip-syncing to the speech. You can mix and match from different faces, sets of phrases, and PlainTalk voices to customize your character. The face files The Talking Mouse uses are compatible with its bigger sibling, The Reading Mouse. You can modify existing sets of phrases or create new ones easily using SimpleText, and you can even create entirely new animated faces. Requires System 7.5, Speech Manager and PlainTalk installed, 400K RAM Minimum Home page at
