VERY RARE TI LANGUAGE TRANSLATOR SPANISH FROM 80'S | KRAFTWERK

In 1979 Texas Instruments released its "Language Translator", a silver device that looks like a calculator but translates words and outputs them on a built-in speaker.

KRAFTWERK, the German pioneers of electronic music used phrases and words of the Language Translator on the famous record 'Computerwelt'/ 'Computerworld' published in 1981.

This is an utterly cool piece of retro kit. Bright green fluorescent display, TI's famous robot voices, runs from 4 AA batteries or a standard ac adapter, has a built-in speaker, audio output and volume control. But, if you are looking at this then you probably know all about it anyway. This one works perfectly, is in great condition and complete (including battery cover). As well as the voice functions (spoken words, phrases and letters/numbers that you can type in) it also makes all the usual blips and beeps like the Speak & Spell and other similar TI units.
