Description

Touch & Tell – A 1978 educational game [85] aimed at children of ages 2 to 5 employing a position-sensitive keyboard. [104] A synthesized voice asked children questions and kids touch the answers on the keyboard. Woody: "Tuesday night's plastic corrosion awareness meeting was, I think, a big success. And we wanna thank Mr. Spell for putting that on for us. Thank you, Mr. Spell." Woerner, Joerg. Texas Instruments Teddy Touch & Tell. Datamath Calculator Museum. 15 December 2001.

a b Woerner, Joerg. Texas Instruments Magic Reading Desk. Datamath Calculator Museum. 5 December 2001. Touch & Discover School Edition – The next generation of the Touch & Discover console, the Touch & Discover School Edition is aimed at a slightly older audience. [107] The Speak & Math was very minutely redesigned in 1986, under the same name, with the new version representing nothing more substantial than a redesign of the faceplate graphics. [99] In 1990 the Super Speak & Math was released as a major redesign similar to the first version of the Super Speak & Spell. [100] As with the Super Speak & Spell, the display screen of the Super Speak & Math was changed to an LCD screen instead of the former VFD screen. The keyboard was also expanded and given more functions. The general structure of the console was also altered similarly to the Super Speak & Spell such that the handle which had come at the top of the screen in prior Speak & Math units was now found on the bottom of the toy and ergonomic features were added to the shape. Magic Reading Desk – Considered the spiritual successor to the Ready... Set... Read! and Speak & Read lines. [89]Woerner, Joerg. Texas Instruments Speak & Spell (Japan). Datamath Calculator Museum. 1 September 2005 Touch & Talkies – A dedicated handheld series, there were four versions of Touch & Talkies all aimed at very young players. [108] In 1992, a third redesign of the Super Speak & Spell was made for the Spanish market only. The new version was nearly identical to the prior El Loro Parlanchín save for the name which became El Loro Profesor [34] ( Professor Parrot).

But to accomplish that with the Speak & Spell, Texas Instruments had to make an important engineering breakthrough in speech technology. In 1982, a compact version of the Speak & Math was developed contemporaneously with the Speak & Spell Compact. This version was only released in France as Les Maths Magique [94] (lit. The Magical Math). A redesigned version was developed in 1985 for British markets under the name of Maths marvel. [95] This was later released in Italian as Dotto Conta-Parla, [96] in French as le Calcul magique [97] (lit. Magical Calculator), and in German as Mathe-Fix. [98] Drop It – A Super Speak & Spell game in which the player will see how new words are made by adding prefixes and suffixes. [27]The Speak & Spell features in various electronics museums such as the Computer History Museum [2] and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History [7] due to its seminal influence in the field of modern speech synthesis. The Speak & Spell is also featured in the Game On exhibition as an example of a handheld video game. [79] A 1978-model Speak & Spell features prominently as the "phone home" in 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (note the raised buttons).
