Rare Votrax Type & Talk Speech Unit for Apple II & Mac

Here is what the literature says...•
  TYPE 'N TALK (TNT) is a text-to-speech synthesizer. A revolutionary new voice output
  device, TNT is as easy to program as typing data or programs into a computer. TNT is a
  small, light weight unit that may be interfaced to computer, modem, or any RS-232
  compatible serial device. It contains a VOTRAX SC01 phoneme synthesizer chip and a
  text-to-speech translation system. Functioning as a voice output device, TNT may be
  utilized in a variety of different applications from Computer Aided Instruction (CAl) to
  warning or prompting signals in any existing (or new) software program. One or more
  TNT units (up to 8) can be linked together (daisy chained) in order to provide multiple
  voice outputs from a single computer interface. TNT is a totally self-contained text-to-
  speech synthesizer; therefore, it will not slow down the throughput of the user's
  computer doing time consuming text translations. With this responsibility oft-loaded to a
  TNT, the user's computer is free to perform other tasks while speech is in process. The
  vocabulary spoken by TNT is of the user's unrestricted design. This is because a text-to-
  speech synthesizer creates speech from a set of rules describing English, rather than
  from a set of prestored utterances. In other words, text-to-speech has an unlimited
  vocabulary repertoire. This vocabulary can be inserted directly into the user's software programs similar to the way statements for activating a printer or CRT are written. This
eliminates the need for any extra memory, RAM or ROM, usually required for prestored
vocabulary techniques. Also, it is possible to use a standard high level computer anguage
to directly drive a TNT unit. The versatility of use of the TNT is unlimited. The text that
follows is intended to describe TNT's functions and operations. Implementation of a
particular TNT configuration is to be determined by the user.
