  • Patent number: 9251717
    Abstract: A method and device for providing a language system.

If the first key is not linked to a secondary screen, an audible signal representing the first word is output. Otherwise, a secondary screen is displayed including a second plurality of communication keys that are related to the first word and a communication key that represents the first word. The device includes appropriate hardware for performing the method. In both the method and device, the language system is configured to output an audible output of a user selected word after no more than two user selections.
