Nothing
else than a renamed Language Tutor introduced
one year before. Don't miss the Language Teacher
without any speaker.
| An easy accessible "Solid State Speech™ Module" contained the software to translate from e.g. English, French and Spanish to spoken German. |  |
| Please note on the picture the piggy-back soldering to give a total memory of four 128K ROM's. |  |
Please notice that the Integrated Circuits (Speech ROM's) inside the German Language Translator Module are identical to the earlier Language Tutor Module.
KRAFTWERK, the German pioneers of electronic music used
phrases and words of the Language Translator on the famous record 'Computerwelt'/
'Computerworld' published in 1981.
