Speak and Spell - The Original Spelling Computer

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.

This is a great fun way to teach anyone how to spell. So easy to use and easy to clean. Its sturdy has a flat surface and talks like the old one from the 70's 80's. Like a robot. It has 5 modes,( see photo) different word levels its for the ages 7 and up. Comes with 3 AA batteries included. Spelling word games and Challenge levels This will never go out of style. It's iconic electronic idea is great for the kids that love their electronics. And at the same time learning. Its just pretty cool. every kids or adult should have one.

The speak and spell is great it has different settings for changing the levels of difficultly all the kids in the house can learn with it. It says seven years and up, I know my ten year old still found it helpful. They have fun taking turns to see who's the smartest, it's me tricking them, they are learning as they challenge each other and they can't wait for the mystery word. It comes ready to go it runs on AA batteries that is included when it arrives, I like when it requires batteries they actually start you off with a set. It has more than two hundred spelling words that should keep them busy for a long time. I guess I was a deprived kid I never had one when I grew up, so I can't compare to the eighties model, but I really think it's really a very good learning tool and it's small enough to take just about anywhere and easy to operate.

I was given the opportunity to use and review the Speak and Spell, the original spelling computer. The Speak and Spell is definitely a Classic and is an educational toy. Learning while having fun, my nephew really enjoyed this and was thrilled to find out words he knew, relearning words and learning new words. Included with the Speak and Spell is an instruction booklet so you and the child will know how to use it. The Speak and Spell contains over 200 commonly misspelled words using a speech synthesizer. With all those words, my nephew and other children should never get tired of it. My nephew just began the 1st grade and is very eager to learn more. A really nice thing I found was that The Speak and Spell has batteries already installed and will be easy to replace when needed. There is a white tab on the back. You just remove it to ‘turn it on'.

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.

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.

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.

Speak and spell original spelling computer is just what it states it is. I had one of these exact looking speak and does. The speak and spell has multi levels so you spell harder words and learn more words and their pronunciation. It simply has a keyboard type front with a small little box for you to see your finished word. My daughter does not play it long not something kids are superly excited to see nowadays. Could be nice for educational purposes !

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.
