The BraiLab talking computer family developed by the Laboratory of Speech Technology for Rehabilitation (LSTR) is a set of integrated text-to-speech tools made for the blind. The first member of this family, the BraiLab was developed in 1985 and equipped with BASIC and Z80 assembler programming languages. BraiLab Plus was a talking WordStar-compatible word processor with a CP/M-compatible operating system while BraiLab PC was realized as a portable adapter for IBM-compatible personal computers. Altogether more than 2000 pieces of the BraiLab family have been produced and are in use throughout Hungary which represents a 75% market share.
