Slide12: 

The Speak & Spell learning aid functioned much like a parent preparing a student for a spelling quiz. It would say the word, allow the pressing of keys labeled with the alphabet to spell out the word, then report on the result of the effort. 1978 Speak & Spell The Speak & Spell learning aid was the first product to incorporate low-cost speech synthesis technology and was among one of the first products to use TI DSPs.
