Audio replay button

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.

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.
