Abstract: A portable device enables a text to be constructed by an input interface, then to be sent on a voice synthesis engine. The synthesized voice is rendered audible through a loudspeaker. The synthesized voice can also be sent over a telephone network addressed to another telephone. The device thus enables a person with a speech handicap to communicate with a party who is not used to communication by sign language.
