Herbert 1 was a primarily audio-based wearable computer used by Greg Priest-Dorman in his everyday life at Vassar College from 1994 to 1998. Through Emacspeak and a Linux platform, it could be used for general computing functions, reading email, or books. It used a seven-button chording keyboard for input and was often used while walking. The system was based on a Gateway Handbook and a DECtalk Express.
