Σύνοψη

The aim of this project is the development of a low cost technique for storing and playing back voice signals from a ROM. These signals which are small phrases or words which combined together can produce a whole message can be choosen by a keyboard.
The ability to give a complete message with the use of hands only was the first thought for this system in order to be used by handicapped children who can use
their hands only for communicating easily with their environment.
This system is designed for a maximum capability of 16 independent messages either words or small phrases each of maximum duration of 1.5 seconds.
The voice is stored in memory and recalled each time a phrase is needed accordingly.
The cost of the system is not high and the main contribution to this belongs to the number of words required.
