I wasted TOO MUCH on Mystery Tech...

[@iamjimbodini]

That Alpha free write is essentially the modernized AlphaSmart Neo, a typing tool for schools from the 90's. These are being junked by the hundreds across America. I snagged one and gave it a paint job, replaced the battery with a modern lipo. Keyboard is quite nice. Find AlphaSmart Neo's for nothing dollars locally.

[@newlore]

I was thinking that the whole time seeing it. I know back when I was I grade school eons ago they had a handful of those for renting.

[@Patelasaur]

My highschool 10 years ago would give AlphaSmarts to disabled students who had physical difficulty writing but were able to type. I was given the option when I was loosing physical ability to write but I found it easier and quicker to type on an iPhone into a word processing app. Now everyone is allowed laptops so they probably don't get much use anymore.

[@EchoHitomi]

I used one of these on school and it was the first thing I thought of. Was nice for taking notes.

Dang I never thought I would see one of those electronic typewriters again. I have very vivid memories of using a decidedly much more 90s/early 2000s version of that in the third grade. It was a big push in my class to have everyone learn to type on them and for the rest of the year that's how we did essays.

[@rollingtroll]

Alpha freewrite; back in the day you had thermal printers with a little 12 character display. Once the 13th character was typed the first one would disappear off screen, and appear on the paper. It was genius because you could correct. If they'd just made that display a few more lines, and would have added font support and a little printer, it would have been the perfect revamp of that kind of typewriter from the late 80's. The price is literally seven times too high. This is ridiculous. For way less you can buy a simple laptop that ONLY has a word processor on it that boots in windows kiosk mode.

[@PixlRainbow]

funny thing is those laptops exist and can be bought pre-configured; they're made for Amish communities. They don't use Windows, because that makes the software non-user-serviceable (Amish principles require self-sufficiency), but rather a custom-built installation of Linux with source code included.

[@abba2566]

We used to have (much less advanced) Alpha's in school - if someone broke their arm or was otherwise unable to write for whatever reason then you'd be given one for a bit. Ours was literally just a keyboard with a screen and you had to plug it into a laptop to get stuff off it, so the internet connectivity is nice! Presumably it was cheaper/easier than having laptops and also no spell check or internet access - so you couldn't cheat. Ours also did have an angled up screen, which was slightly nicer than the flat one here!

The Alpha Freewrite is actually a pretty good value if you look at it for use in its main market. Education. My brother is a teacher and there are several students he teaches that have disabilities that make them unable to hand write long form content. They actually still use an older product from Alpha which is called the Alpha Smart which isn't as smart or nice looking as the new one but It helps kids out immensely and makes it so they can focus on writing and the assignment rather than fighting they're disability which is the important part. Because it doesn't have apps or anything its also perfect for testing scenarios.

[@BeckyA59]

The Alpha Freewriter looks so much like a device they sent home with my kids from school in the 90s. Just the keyboard and a tiny screen

The alpha free ride is basically a product that's been around for 25 years. It was called "Alpha Smart" back around the year 2000. We used it in grade school to do our projects. They were issued to us because we were in a low income area and couldn't afford computers at home. It has barely changed since I used it back then, just a different shell. This is not a new product lol, it's a quarter of a century or more old.

The alpha free write is like the ones that those at school who needed extra support got given because of handwriting issues and other issues

[@MrMega200]

That Freewrite thing isn't a new concept, they were called Digital Word Processors when I was in high school in the late 2000s, and what my school had was the Alphasmart brand. It had the same USB to PC support as well for only $169 during the time it was produced for one model. I'd say they were a bit more readable than this product. Looking back as an adult I can see that they were good for just writing your ideas down but horrendous, personally for me, to go back to check for mistakes and if I wrote it down down in an easy to understood way. When I was in high school I just asked for a laptop because of those reasons plus the instant spell check and grammar checking was a need for me. If you want this experience then just get a used digital work processor for $35 on eBay as this thing is too expensive for the use. The older products had USB and SD card support for easy transfer of files when you needed to do more on a regular computer.

[@LonesomeSoliloquy]

19:24 Anybody else appreciating the nice looking Lexus SC?

You gotta give it to Alpha Freewrite for basically just remaking the exact same product Tandy came out with 25 years ago and slapping a $350 sticker on it. FYI the Tandy version can be found for 50-75 bucks pretty easily.
