The Lightwriter is a text-to-speech device. The user enters text, and the resulting message is displayed on two screens, one facing the user and one facing the person they are speaking to.  A speech synthesiser provides speech output. Such devices are often used by people who have acquired speech loss. 

These items are assorted prototype hardware from Toby Churchill UK.
