A device to help a child communicate was requested by an educator. The child cannot read, write, or speak but can recognize symbols and use those symbols to communicate. While this communication works, it doesn't work well in situations where another person does not know how to use the symbols to communicate. For this reason, a device was requested that could display images to a child and play a phrase when that image was chosen. To meet this need an MP3 player like device was constructed. The device stores images and Mpeg-Layer III (MP3) sound clips on a replaceable Secure Digital (SD) card. The images are displayed on a color Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) where the user is able to skip through images to find the phrase that needs to be said. Once found simply hitting the play button will play the sound clip associated with the image. The device is portable and compact for easy use. It uses Universal Serial Bus (USB) to recharge its batteries, communicate with the PC and update the firmware.
