Instruments introduced with the Voyager a novel educational toy 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).
Hi, my name is Stefan and I was not manufactured in Dallas, Texas. I was born
wk 29 year 1994, about six years after my favorite toy was introduced.
