Nice. I hope we arn’t going offtopic.

Yeah the demos are still available.
Fun fact regarding Armadillo Army, the assets are standard files. The images are BMP and GIF, and all the audio is just WAV, so things are highly editable. Weirdly, it downsamples the background music during gameplay, the full track is high quallity and stereo.
Anyway I’m exploring the APH website from 2012 on the wayback machine, will post if I find cool stuff.

I could probably get those demos back, maybe, I do already have the math flash, talking typer, and maybe the armidillo army, termite torpedo, and tutle tiles ones
-
If I remember correctly, since I don’t have this disc anymore and there’s no record of it online, the demos available on the disc were
Armadillo Army
Book Wizzard Reader (possibly?)
Math Flash
Talking Typer
Teachers Pet
Termite Torpedo
Toodle TilesI think that’s everything.
And it had manual files and recordings for products like the Book Port, HandiCassette, Original BraillePlus PDA, some motion activated voice recorder thing (I distinctly remember "caution: there’s a ladder in the hall" being their test phrase), and they had the first chapter of Verbal View of Windows XP from the Keyboard… in 2012

Also @Zlunglrg sorry for cutting you off when I sent that comment. My bad.
-
Yes, Talking Typer’s demo was a part of that.
-
Was Talking typer a part of that?
-
wow, at least it used decent tts though, but then again a lot of good voices were on android at the time

So in 2012 when I attended the Braille Challenge for the first time I received a copy of the APH 2012 Demo Disc. This thing had demos of most of their computer programs (games, utilities, etc), and manuals for products as far back as the HandiCassette 2. That was how as a kid I discovered the APH games, and I did a lot of reading in the manuals for products that I’ll never own.
While not mentioned on that disc, my APH holy grale now is a Braille+ 18, the Braille Android 2.3 "smartphone" with AT&T Mike as the voice. Such a forward thinking product but so cobbled together.
It couldn’t, for instance, access the Play Store (then known as the Android Market) so it told you to sideload the Amazon Appstore in the manual.

Okay, I’m going to type this quick but I remember Math. Also welcome back Mat. I ment I remember Math flash.
-
I had a couple. The 1 is a mono only unit, while the 2 can be switched into stereo for playback, mono recording though.
-
always wanted a handy cassette, but those are harder than hell to find
-
Yeah, he did read a fair bit of stuff. I had the manual tapes for the HandiCassette, I think he read the HandiCassette 1 manual.
-
turns out he was even on aph user manual tapes from back in the day to
-
Yeah true. It’s just concatonated speech clips.
Also speaking of Math Flash and the like, sadly Lou, the voice of APH for many years, I know he passed away at some point in the last couple years. Truely sad, he was the voice of so many different things.
-
the other version of EM net sounds like the mathflash guy but with more tone to his voice.
-
Nice, but what is Em net?
-
This is a modern alert. AT&T Mike is still used in some areas as a part of the EMNet system. Info on this system is scarse since it’s not really public, but there’s two different versions of EMNet, and one of them is what you heard here.
-
Wait. What year did this happen?
-
Oh wow, glad I didn’t get cought in that storm.
