The Parrot, a plug-in speech module for Timex/Sinclair computers, has been introduced by R.I.S.T. The Parrot is supplied with cassette software allowing the user to select, string together, and pronounce all 64 allophones in the English language, generating words, sentences and sound effects.
The Parrot plugs directly into the Sinclair ZX80/81 and the Timex/Sinclair 1000, and is piggyback expandable so other modules can be plugged in behind it. It includes an audio output jack for any 4 or 8 ohm speaker and volume control. The $89.95 Parrot also includes a power-input jack to provide additional power if modules other than The Parrot are being used.
The Parrot is a 3" by 3" by 1 ½ " speech
module for Timex/Sinclair computers.
