The Kurzweil Personal Reader (which did not even have a single-chip microprocessor) already did OCR and speech synthesis in 1975, in a somewhat luggable device (the size and weight of two lead-filled attache cases). And samplers and digital synthesizers generally made do Z80 or 6502 type processors well beyond the mid eighties. The software generally was capable - the restrictions on the feasible user interfaces killed many of the more daring concepts... Sevo
