I really wish I knew what happened to my old Speak and Spell from when I was a kid. They look like a ton of fun to bend and record with. I'd like to hear what you do with yours! big_smile

The ROM slot was for specific games and lessons. Not sure of anything for recording purposes. You can put a 1/4" or 1/8" jack on it as well to easily record, or do live performances. Here's a site I found that had some good info on a Speak and Read http://makezine.com/extras/32.html  There are quite a few things out there for these little toys, just google search "circuit bend Speak and Spell". You'll turn up a lot of stuff, from videos to tutorials and what not. Hope this helps.

I'm just wondering how I should go about this.
I was thinking that I was just going to make it say say the words I want, then record that and import it into Audacity and edit the length and pitch of the words/syllables in there, but that seems like a really complicated and time-consuming way to go about this.
Is there a better way to do this? Are there mods I can do? I know there is a cartridge slot, is there a cart/ROM I can buy? Is there a special jack that I can hook up a keyboard to? Is there a better software to use for the above method?

Please Help. ;~;
