Abstract
A system and method for presenting and editing associations between graphics and audio useful for assisting people who have difficulty in speaking. This may include presenting graphics and audio information together with topic information thus allowing for a user to create outlines of speech needed for different events and situations. When a user selects a topic, images appear and by selecting the image a device is instructed to play the associated audio file. Images and audio may be outlined into useful constructs to provide for differing situations and multiple users may edit those outlines. Moreover, the constructs, may be published to devices and other systems. In accordance with certain embodiments, images and audio files may be uploaded or purchased from vendors. Collaboration provides the speech impaired with the ability to develop a progressively improving speech vocabulary and to share that vocabulary with others needing assistance.
