Speak and Spell - The Original Spelling Computer, Ages 7 and Up

I've return this product and never received my money back!

Amazing, brought back memories from my childhood now my child can enjoy it

The product was what I expected it to be, but ended up it was really not what I was looking for. special note: The delivery person left the package out on the road. They did not bring it to me.

This seems to be useful and fun educational toy. It comes with batteries included which is a plus. I recommend this for kids who can already read some. There are a few different settings of play and you can challenge yourself to see if you can spell what it says. I don't think the kids will use this as much as their tablet or other means for looking up words but I think they'll play here and there. My 5 year old had no interest but 8 year old did.

Received from spark review This small and lightweight speak and spell offers a nice keyboard and few functions for learning the spelling of words. When we began to use the speak and spell, I realized I could not understand what the voice prompt was saying. A few words was not pronounced clearly and we got the answer wrong. The speak and spell does not record your voice after repeating the words. It prompts the user to spell the words and then it moves on to the next word. Do not recommend - small children will get frustrated not understanding the voice prompt which is not clear and unintelligible.

I received a Speak and Spell from Spark Reviewer in exchange for my honest opinion. As a kid, I had one of these and absolutely loved it. I'm glad to see some of our favorite toys come back so that our children and nieces and nephews can enjoy. My niece loves this. It teaches her how to spell words and it has a variety of activities on it. She play with it for hours.

This is great for kids 5 and up, voice is boring though. There are better spelling games around on ipads and phones. But I like the idea it doesn't work with wifi. There are different difficulty levels. And a great resource to keep your kid busy and entertained.

Speak & Spell is back and it's just like I'd remembered...but that was a long time ago. It's one of the earliest computerized learning systems from the 70s & 80s, Speak & Spell was the first educational toy designed to help children learn to spell over 200 commonly misspelled words using a speech synthesizer. More like a robot and really outdated. There are a lot better programs on our tablet for spelling and learning. My 6 year old granddaughter was over it in about 5 minutes. It does have multiple play modes and challenge levels, but it was difficult for us to understand some of the words. Not flashy enough for kids today, I'm afraid. This says for ages 7 & up and that's probably about right. Includes 3 AA batteries. It is light weight and easly to carry. This Speak and Spell definitely has its limitations but might be good for some kids.

The Speak and Spell - The Original Spelling Computer is a beginners spelling tablet. It's easy to use. It has the same voice when your asked to spell words. My children love to guess how to spell the words but they are times that you can't tell what word is being asked to spell as frustration kicks in and lose interest. They loved the fact it was in the ET movie and childhood memories are great but it should have added a softer voice so words are clearer. Besides that, material is sturdy and it comes with the list of words your asked to spell and levels of harder words as a challenge. Ages 7 and up. Great for practice.

works as intended. not very durable to drops so if there's toddlers around. it may not hold up long
