1978 speak & spell.

[primus0381]

Sounds like George St. Pierre.

I WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY.

@MrToystory2000 You have to have the yellow spell and say I think it's called version which came out a little later than the speak and spell.

[ClassicTVMan81]

Your S&S appears to have been sold from 1980-85 due to the keys being membrane type rather than buttons.

The 1985-89 versions had a smaller TI logo.

I had this same one,the battery corroded in it and my grandfather was suppose to fix it but never did. It hung in his basement for 14 years!

[matt78tv]

They are pretty awesome to be so old. I have this yellow one lets you type in words and it pronounces them. Curse words don't work though, lol.

[Lachlant1984]

I'm pretty sure you're referring to Speak And Read. My best friend has one, and I haven't played with it in fucking years, I've looked for videos of them on YouTube, but can only find videos of Speak and Read units that have been Circuit Bent, I hate Circuit Bending with a passion, I'd like to find videos of un-modified Speak and Math and Speak and Read units.

in this toy they used a vocoder and a word memory to make it real, in 1973 the Sharp corporation of japan introduced in the market a talking electronic calculator, that uses the same circuit of this toy..

1978 technology sounds years ahead of youtube's 2008 "Audio Preview"

[Membrane556]

I remember these as a kid didn't know they went back as far as 1978.

I didn't find the voice scary just silly.

[Intosia]

Thats USA version right? I have British version, that one is gay :D

[rockergirl83]

They didnt scare me when I was little which is shocking because now I would not let my kids have this unless they say the voice doesn't scare them. I learned to read, spell and do math by these devices so they are still beneficial to this day, just demonic sounding. Imagine, a machine telling you to "SAY IT!"

[matt78tv]

You know, they never scaced me either but they do sound a little devilish. I just always loved tech stuff though and never thought of it as being anything to fear. I wish they would make a new version because with todays tech they could put all kinds of learning stuff in one and I know it would sell well. Hey, why don't we invent a new one.

[lilryry1993]

they should call it speak like the devil...

[Fma42081]

Cool I Remember Speak And Spell... Where do you live? I dont thik there are any around here where i live...but if there is i would have to guess the quanity is very very small... very hard to find items

[matt78tv]

Hello. I'm in Kentucky.

[jakeharvey]

Buy up as many of these as you can before the "circuit benders" destroy them all in their quest to make shitty music. Preserve electronic history!

[Lachlant1984]

HERE HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I try not to be a party pooper, BUT I CAN'T STAND BLOODY CIRCUIT BENDING, IT GIVES ME NIGHTMARES. I wish people would take these devices for what they are, and not modify them.

[Tecseiyru]

!? Dang man, even with all that stuff you have you must still be pretty bored.*Dang*

[betz698]

where is Speak and Math?

[matt78tv]

I'm going to find one of those. I have the yellow one too that says what you type into it. I've seen the speak and math, they are beige colored.

[matt78tv]

Nah, I'm just interested in so much stuff it's crazy. Anything electronics.

[Tecseiyru]

Do they have a speak and spell Japanese version? 'Cause if they do maybe I could learn and pick up one of those Japanese cuties?

Or atleast I can finaly understand what I've been laughing at in all of those Japanese films I've been watching for years.

[Lachlant1984]

There may have been a Japanese version at one point, look it up on Wikipedia. I understand there were German, French and Italian versions, as well as a Spanish and a UK English version.

[DeeCuriousCat]

Or maybe you could settle for a brunette with blue eyes that aren't slanted? :)

I'm available.
