Audio replay button

These buttons have been popularised by channels like Billi Speaks, where a cat pushes random phrase buttons and a lady interprets it to suit her videos.  A bit like the paranormal posse.

It's quite nicely integrated though, albeit a bit quiet.  Especially with my bassy voice.

I not only expected a blob, but for the speaker to double-up as a microphone, seems like a missed penny-pinching opportunity there. Would be interesting to feed high quality audio into it and capture the output to see what the recording quality actually is; 30s is plenty time for an audio sweep to suss out the sampling rate

There are people who would pay good money for a Big [Pink | Clive] One Moment Please button.

It does look like a filter, but is odd because it's on the bias side.

Big Clive

Wondering if is the same chip used by those repeating parrot toys?

Chris Horry

The Mic circuitry looks similar to a crossover, could it be filtering?

There is a dog, Stella, that can use these, and the trainer, Christina, is a speech pathologist. So she is very good with the dog, using simple phrases and pressing the buttons to be reassuring. The cat video I have seen goes kind of like this: Cat stumbles on ‘mad’ button. Lady breaks out in “Are you mad? What are you mad about? Do you want treats? I can get you treats! How about food? What do you want? Are you mad at me?” And the cat apparently mumbles “stupid human, I accidentally stepped on the actuator. I wish you would give me a ‘shut up’ button”

It would probably be improved with a bigger speaker and better enclosure.

Big Clive

Is the speaker particularly quiet because of the housing and there only being a few holes?

I wonder what the flash storage capacity is in that chip? It sounded like 8-bit audio and it might have a dedicated compressor/decompressor. Those chips are probably a few cents each, so they're probably quite limited. There are too many factors to consider, so I'm clueless as a result.

You should do a video of that. It sounds hilarious!

I taught one of my cats to use a button like this to ask for treats. Big mistake. She presses it nonstop. I had to hide it. Stupid cat. Stupid smart cat.

The YouTube channel “what about bunny” is a dog that makes extensive use of these buttons.

"I drew a blank." Hmm. I thought you drew a numbered square.
