Language areas of the human brain are located at the Angular Gyrus, Supramarginal Gyrus, Broca's area, Wernicke's area and the Primary Auditory Cortex.

Murphy's language center consists of a 2 W, 8 Ω miniature loudspeaker, an EMIC-2 text-to-speech module and a TPA2005D1 breakout board. Both PCB's do not have mounting holes, so I designed a carrier board:

Populated and under testing (10k potentiometer for volume control still not added):

Wiring diagram:

Important note: The EMIC-2 does not work properly with Arduino hardware serial. Use the SoftwareSerial Library instead.
