Texas Instruments Voyager

Texas Instruments introduced with the Voyager a novel game that lacks the position sensitive keyboard of products like the Touch & Tell. Instead of the traditional keyboard a microphone is used to control the game. The speech recognition detects simple words like "yes", "no", "true" or "false" as an input to the game.

The Voyager game uses exchangable speech ROM's in an expansion port. This gives you access to other stories than the provided.

The internal construction of the Voyager is based on a TSP50C41 single-chip speech synthesizer and an external speech memory CMM19005 to store the voices of the game. The speaker and microphone of the "headset" are connected with a flexible printed circuit board (Flex-PCB).
