HAND-HELD SPEECH GENERATION DEVICE

摘要

A speech generation device is disclosed. The device includes casing features that allow it to be operated as a hand-held device that is both portable and easy for a user to hold in his hands and operate to generate speech. Specific casing components may include opposing sides of an outer shell that are shaped in a convex fashion and with a predetermined thickness to fit within the palms of a user's hands. When a user positions his fingers/hands around the casing components of the device, thus operating the device as a hand-held device, the first and second extensions may be positioned on the bottom surface of the device and an outer speaker grille may be positioned to face outward from the user so that audio output from the device radiates outwardly from the user.
