The first one is the "guts" of Macintalk (the speech engine, and API)

The second one *I believe* is a different speech engine not by Apple. Don't
quote me on that.

The third one adds the "Speak Text" routing option to Notes. Without it the
first package is useless unless you write your own app to interface with it.

I don't know about the last two.

Looks good.

Yes, it is OS 2.1 specific.
