With the Super Speak & line Texas Instruments introduced educational toys similar to the well known kids-computers with there small LCD-screens and ASCII-keyboards. From the technical aspect this Super Speak & Mathl uses a standard voice synthesizer chip (TSP50C10) with an external Speech ROM (TSP60C18) and some external components. The same technology was found in late Super Speak & Spell games.
