Henry,
    I just happen to know someone with a talking scientific calculator,
but although portable, it is not hand-held by today's standards.
    It is basically an HP scientific calculator that sits on top of a
DigiVoice unit, and it was purchased from Science Products in
Philadelphia for about $600 in 1983.

     Although I am sure there are more affordable and better options
available to you now, if you're interested, I'll act as your negotiator
and see what she will settle for.  Where you want me to start the
bidding?
                                                        Willie
