Apple Macintosh Performa 6100 Series - Manual (Page 46)

m PlainTalk is a program that enables you to use spoken commands with your
Macintosh Performa. To use PlainTalk, you need to install the PlainTalk
software (use the Installer in the PlainTalk folder inside Apple Extras) and
connect an Apple PlainTalk microphone. (See “Connecting and Positioning
a Microphone” in Chapter 3.) For information about using the PlainTalk
software, see the “Speech” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide
(h) menu.
m Video Monitor is for use with computers that have audio-visual (AV)
capabilities. If you install an AV card in your Macintosh, see the “Video”
topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu, for
information on using Video Monitor.
Your computer has several application programs already installed, as well as
some programs that you must install before you can use them. (You will need
to run each uninstalled application program’s Installer program before the
application program will work.) You’ll find the uninstalled programs on your
hard disk.
You may want to experiment with AppleScript, one of the programs on your
hard disk. With AppleScript you can automate tasks in the Finder and other
scriptable programs (programs that support AppleScript). Instructions for
using AppleScript are also included in the AppleScript folder.
