1. A handheld system for associating audio content with an object, comprising:
- a microphone;
a speaker;
a camera; and
a processing device configured to;
capture sound via the microphone,convert the captured sound into a digital data set,encode the digital data set into a graphical identifier,transmit the graphical identifier to a printing device, the identifier configured to be applied to a surface of the object;
extract bit fields from the identifier via the camera; and
convert the extracted bit fields into audio signals.
