Essaye encore...

I remember seating in grandma's stairway during Christmas break, playing Speak & Spell with my cousins this for hours. In 1980, shortly after the invention of the synthesizer technology to reproduce human speech with tuned voices stored in ROM's (integrated circuits) Texas Instruments developed this funny product. The idea was to spell the name of that picture correct. The Speak & Spell used a different approach: The spoken word was generated by the built in loudspeaker and you had to type it in correct.
