Texas Instruments itself later adapted the Speak & Spell's technology into a speech synthesizer accessory for its popular TI-99/4A computer. [49] Emulation [ edit ] At the same time, I was on a Freehand (R.I.P.) beta too, so all the artwork was done using a pre-release version of Freehand (note the bevelling around the red plastic? My first use of filters in Freehand). Again, having a focus and goal makes it easier to set about with your software tools.

It was Texas Instruments engineer Paul Breedlove who reportedly came up with the idea of a learning aid for spelling. (Interestingly, one of the very first patents for educational devices was awarded in 1866: “an apparatus for teaching spelling.”) Breedlove’s idea was to build upon bubble memory, another TI research effort, and as such it involved an impressive technical challenge: the device should be able to speak the spelling word out loud. This emulator began in 2002, as a personal project I started with the single aim of improving my Flash Actionscript skills.

Datamath Calculator Museum. 5 December 2001. Speak & Spell" is an electronic toy launched by Texas Instruments (TI) in 1978. It is one of the first devices that can pronounce words and letters, mainly helping children learn spelling and vocabulary. The Speak & Math (sold as "Speak & Maths" in some countries) was released in 1980 with a shape identical to both the Speak & Spell and the Speak & Read but with a completely different keyboard layout, different game [91] [92] features, and a different color scheme. Where the American Speak & Spell had been colored red with yellow and orange accents, the American Speak & Math was gray with blue and orange highlights. The Speak & Math was designed to focus on mathematics in children of ages 6–12 with a library of over 100,000 random and preprogrammed problems. [91] It was regarded as the spiritual successor to TI's earlier DataMan series, [93] with the difference mainly relating to the addition of speech synthesizing software and the visual display. The Speak & Math was only released to American and British markets.
