Description: Franklin Electronic Publishers was founded in 1981, riding the wave of popularity of small handheld electronic devices. Its products have included electronic bibles and early versions of e-books, but its most popular and enduring niche is in handheld electronic language devices for kids. For sale in this lot are three examples of this type of vintage electronics: Spelling Ace Model PS-99Released in 1987, the PS-99 was Franklin's first spelling computer, using technology from Proximity Electronics with data from Merriam Webster. You type in a word and the Spelling Ace will give you a list of probable matches -- ie, if your word is misspelled, it will tell you the list of words that are most likely to be the intended word. Spelling Ace Model SA-98AThis 1990 release includes all the functionality of the original Spelling Ace as well as a suite of games and other functions, including homophones, prefixes and suffixes. Franklin Talking Dictionary Model KID-1240This 2004 release provides a big leap forward in technology, including a broader range of word games and, most impressively, an early and effective voice synthesizer. All three items are in excellent working condition. See photos for more details of their physical condition.
