I don't this it's a reasonnable project.
First, Mexican TTS is based on Macintalk Pro (I think), while
Macintalk on NewtonOS is Macintalk 3.
Second, even if we had Macintalk Pro on NewtonOS (I wish we had, my
favorite voices are definitely Bruce and Victoria), Macintalk Pro
voices include code and we would have to port Magda and Edsel (code
names for Carlos and Catalina), which isn't an easy work.

Right. But even if Macintalk for Newton used to be a supported
software by Apple, there is totally no hope to get the source code
from Apple like any other Newton software and here for an additionnal
reason that this technology hasn't been discontinued.
