About the solution

To help his son communicate, Richard devoted his energies to creating a kid-friendly form of speech technology he named Tango. The gadget prerecords a wide variety of colorful pictures and symbols depicting commonly used actions, questions and emotions.

His son, Thomas, can use the device to quickly select a thought and the little computer speaks for him, in a voice much like his own that expresses emotions with frases.

Thomas can go into a mode with one push of a button and change that from a regular voice to a whine or shout or a whisper. The computerized device can also be adapted for specific occasions, so before a baseball game, they downloaded the sound of cheers for their team so at the stadium their son could be one of the guys hollering for them.
