Build a Babel Fish Language Toy with the NFC and Wave Shields

Learn to make a speaking, card-reading toy! The Babel Fish helps you learn to say words and phrases on RFID flash cards by reading the card and playing an associated sound file loaded on an SD card inside. This project is very straightforward and could make a great jumping-off point for your own awesome RFID and Wave Shield project! Video on YouTube (subscribe to our channel!) and Vimeo. Head over to the Adafruit Learning System for the complete guide.

  1. Eh, I’ll be impressed when it fits in my ear and makes God disappear. (just kidding) It’s like a new age spin and say. Unfortunately the cost of rfid cards, even in bulk, make this impractical as a mass market product. Now a computer/webcam + qr code version would work better.
