hey friends,
I'm intending to create a device which would help people cannot who speak (Dumb people) for express their needs.
Idea is to play a recording when we press a switch. Recording could be "I'm Hungry" or something similar to that.
But I'm no expert in Electronics. So, I need to know is it possible to use a programmed IC for this.
thank you.
There are plenty of chips out there that can be used for an application like that. A good example are greeting cards that play a prerecorded message when opened. However, given a choice, I think you would fair better using a visual text display than audio. The first reason being the amount of memory required for text versus audio.
Check **broken link removed** Addressable sound recording/playback ICs.
And, "dumb" is an archaic, and now considered rude, term for people that are speech impaired.
Ron,
thanks for the reply bro.........
Actually I thought to expand it for 8 recordings. So, I need to use a switch for each recording........ I think greeting card system could be use for the job.

Yep, that would be it. (Information Storage Devices, now Nuvoton). Leave it to me to screw the name up.
Actually really bad as I work with a guy who is the brother of the guy who started ISD and developed the first chips. I met Richard Simko once, unfortunately it was at his brother's funeral so not the best times for technology exchange.
