## Description

Speak & spell is back and it's just like you remember! One of the earliest computerized learning Systems from the 70S and 80S, speak & spell was the first educational toy designed to help children learn to spell over 200 commonly misspelled words using a speech synthesizer. Now, a whole new generation can enjoy this classic toy with friends and family for years to come. With multiple play modes and challenge levels, kids will have fun and learn at the same time! For ages 7 & up. Includes 3 AA batteries.

Review: The Toy That Raised an Entire Generation - YESS 😂 The Toy That Raised an Entire Generation I bought the Speak & Spell 80s Retro Edition and immediately felt like I needed permission from my parents to use it. The second it powered on, I was transported back to a time when cartoons were only on Saturday mornings, TVs weighed as much as a small car, and learning to spell felt like a high-stakes game show hosted by a robot with zero mercy. That voice. You know the one. Flat. Metallic. Emotionless. It doesn’t praise you. It doesn’t comfort you. It simply announces whether you are correct or a disappointment. This thing taught spelling the same way the 80s taught everything: loudly and without apologies. The buttons are big, clicky, and gloriously plastic. Every press sounds like confidence. Or defeat. There is no in-between. You can practically hear a cassette rewinding in the background while it judges your vowel choices. And let’s talk about the experience: You sit there, staring at it, fully confident. You spell the word. It pauses. Your soul leaves your body. Kids today will think it’s a fun toy. Adults will realize autocorrect has been saving them for decades. Final thoughts: This isn’t just a toy—it’s a neon-colored time machine back to leg warmers, synth music, and being humbled by electronics that ran on pure attitude. If you survived the 80s, this will feel like home. If you didn’t, welcome to the training. 10/10. Still smarter than me. Still louder than necessary. Still perfect.
Review: Very useful for self learning - Very educational and easy to use.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this have the raised buttons like original?**
A: To DT or anyone else confused about the buttons: It looks like you probably had the later 2nd gen model with the flat faux-membrane keyboard. The original 1st gen had round, raised 'chiclet' keys which held up better over time. I had that one as a kid and now have all models and variations. I don't have this one yet, but it looks like it's scaled differently—a little squarer and thicker.

**Q: Hi are the electronics in this the same as the original? Looking to circuit bend**
A: Hi there, unfortunately they are not adapted well for circuit bending as they have been changed slightly from the original.  If you have any further inquiries, please email us at customerservice@basicfun.com & enjoy!

**Q: Are you going to release a new speak and read or speak and math as well?**
A: Hi there, thank you for your question on the Speak and Spell by Basic Fun reissued as a learning tablet inspired by the classic of the original!  We just released this item for Fall 2019 and are planning on many more releases in 2020 and 2021, please check back.  At this point in time, for Fall 2019, the Speak and Spell will be the only style offered.  I hope this helps but if you have anymore inquiries, please feel free to contact us at customerservice@basicfun.com & enjoy!

**Q: Does it have the same games as the original?**
A: No not even close
