 The "012" designation indicates an SP0256 programmed with Mattel's [[SP0256 Resident ROM|Resident ROM (RESROM)]] image, as used in the United States.  According to the Blue Sky Rangers, Mattel developed or planned to develop variants for other languages intended for other countries.  It seems none were produced.  There are other known SP0256 variants, including:
 * SP0256-AL2.  This is probably the most common variant, as it was sold by Radio Shack for an extended period of time.  The SP0256-AL2 contains a set of allophones, thus enabling text-to-speech applications.  Allophone-based speech is rather low quality as compared to the dedicated samples in the SP0256-012's RESROM, or in Mattel's voice-enabled games.
-* SP0256-019.  This variant is found in the Odyssey 2's "The Voice" attachment.  It a number of game oriented phrases, as well as hooks for a rather large library of speech ROMs.  One of these speech ROMs appears to contain the same allophone library as appears in the SP0256-AL2.

-The SP0256-012 is a specific variant of the SP0256 Speech Processor.  As seen in the block diagram below, the SP0256 combines a microsequencer and a 2K x 8 bit masked ROM with an LPC-12 speech core that was derived from a previous device, the SP0250.  The "012" designation indicates an SP0256 programmed with Mattel's [[SP0256 Resident ROM|Resident ROM (RESROM)]] image, as used in the United States.  According to the Blue Sky Rangers, Mattel developed or planned to develop variants for other languages intended for other countries.  It seems none were produced.
