Speak & Read


Speak & Read
Texas Instruments (circa 1980)
purchased for FREE (curbside)!
SOLD for $25.00

This is from the same family as "Speak & Spell" and "Speak & Math". Do you remember the crazy robot voice of these things? Sometimes he sounds so mad that you got a wrong answer! When I was a kid I always typed in curse words to see if he would say them. Did you know that the "Speak & Read" does not know the word "balls"? WORD ZAP!

at first, i wasn't sure if we had one when i was a kid. but as soon as i turned it on, the voice was instantly recognizable. we MUST have had one.
