| 5 | | Texas Instruments Speak & Spell hardware |
| 5 | Texas Instruments 1st-gen. handheld speech devices, |
| 6 | |
| 7 | These devices, mostly edu-toys, are based around an MCU(TMS0270/TMS1100), |
| 8 | TMS51xx speech, and VSM ROM(s). Newer devices, such as Speak & Music, |
| 9 | are based around the TMP50C40 and belong in another driver, probably. |

| 8 | 11 | |
| 9 | | Other stuff on similar hardware: |
| 10 | | - Touch & Tell, but it runs on a TMS1100! |
| 11 | | - Speak & Spell Compact, Speak & Write (UK version), TMS1100? TMS0980? |
| 12 | | - Speak & Read |

| 26 | Speak & Spell: |
| 27 | |
| 28 | This is the original Speak & Spell. TI had done educational toys before, like |
| 29 | Wiz-A-Tron or Little Professor. But the popularity of this product was much |
| 30 | above expectations. TI continued to manufacture many products for this line. |
