Texas Instruments Speak & Spell (1978)

Texas Instruments Speak & Spell

The Speak & Spell was a line of child educational toys produced by Texas Instruments. The first Speak & Spell was unveiled at the summer Consumer Electronics Show in 1978. It was one of the first handheld electronic devices with a screen to use interchangeable cartridges. The original Speak & Spell had a chiclet keyboard, and the first redesign happened in 1980, changing the chiclet keyboard to a membrane keyboard. The Speak & Spell was redesigned many times until the last redesign in 1992. In 1980, TI released the successors to the Speak & Spell, Speak & Math and Speak and Read. In 2019, Basic Fun brought back the Speak & Spell with some minor changes. It was also featured prominently in the 1982 movie, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, as the device used to "Phone Home".
