Talking Teacher goers here
The Coleco Talking Teacher (Released 1985) is a childs teaching aid with a synthesised voice. It has 8 english and 2 maths activities with a total of 165 word's vocabulary built in (Rare as snake knee's expansion cartridges are avaialable) its circuitry is similar to that of the Texas instruments speak and spell range of toys but with more advanced voice chips and functions. luckily for circuit bending the circuit is very bendable unlike the super speak and xox of thew same era which have far more anvanced circuits and so fewer bends usually available.
Demo of the pitch control and stutter loop function Unbeleiveable it actually says "TOURETTES" and it has got a serous case of it too Demo of the repeat loop in action it repeats a chosen word works great with other bends
