In the book Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close there is a constant struggle for communication. The invention works by turning text into your own voice or someone elses voice. the device would be a medium sized box with a scanner screen on top and a microphone on the front. The device would allow you to choose from many voices that you had installed. In order to have a persons voice installed they would have to speak into the microphone for a certain amount of time so the device can learn the voice. After the voice is recognized it will be saved on the device and in the cloud so know one can lose their voice. To get the device to start talking you need to get the text that you want to hear read out loud written down, place it face down on the scanner, select the voice you want to hear, then hit play. By doing this the voices that you thought have been lost will still be heard. This invention would be helpful to Oskar just so he could hear his fathers voice again. Oskar would be able to put his voice into the device by using the answering machine to save his voice. On the first page of the book Oskar talks about how his dad would always read him books before going to bed. With the device his dad can continue to read him books before bed even after he died. The device can also help the grandpa talk without having to use yes or no tattoos on his hands. With this device communication can be much easier, and being able to hear his dads voice Oskar will never truly feel like he lost his father.
