PC-robot

The birth of the PC Robot card was required by the technical progress. There was a need for a PC-plug-in speech synthesizer that triggered the external hardware and was located inside the computer. It only had a speaker output jack. It was launched on the Hungarian market, in the production of NIKOL Kkt in 1992. It was a popular product. The system spoke Hungarian and the user has got several practical example programs too. These were: READ-text file reader, KIMOND-key input pronouncer, KITALAL-counting game, VOXEDIT-speech and sing programmer, EXCEPT-exception dictionary developer. The sample programs C, Pascal, Turbo Pascal and Assembler helped to program the system. It was also possible to program songs within 4 octaves. Teachers were also able to write their own educational programs, especially for elementary school students. It had a 72-page user guide.
