Publication number: 20210383791Abstract: The invention disclosed is an im-proved audio output module for use with an artificial voice generation device, having a housing separated into a sound system chamber, an interface chamber, and a power source chamber. The interface and power source chambers may be combined. The sound cham-ber is isolated from external air by the housing, the cover plate, and a separating wall, which separates it from other chambers of the module. Volumetric para-meters based on speaker characteristics and design re-quirements can thus be implemented independent from the choice of interface type. The module is con-figurable to be mounted to an external structure or to a speech generating system. It may likewise be de-tachable from a quick release cradle and receive wire-less audio signals from the speech generating system.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2021Publication date: December 9, 2021Applicant: FORBES REHAB SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Paul W.
