How do I Program a Recorded Message in ECO2?
Before You Begin to Store, Plan What You Want to Say
Helpful Hint! Before you begin to store new messages, look over the Vocabulary Sort on the CD or do a vocabulary review from the REVIEW VOCABULARY MENU in the Toolbox to see what is already stored in the device. You may find that you do not need to store many new messages. You can record and store any spoken or typed message (words, phrases or sentences) into your device's memory. You can also link icon sequences to activities (Dynamic Activities) and even to Pages. If you have sound files (wav, wma and mp3 files) stored on a USB or flash drive or on your computer, you can use Record to store the sounds instead of a message.
Before you store, you should make some decisions. What do you want to say? Are you storing Core vocabulary or Activity Row vocabulary? Decide on the icon or icons you want to use. Are you going to use synthesized or recorded speech or both? If you are recording, write down the messages and their icon or icon sequences. This helps to save on the amount of time you must hold down the RECORD key. The longer you hold down RECORD, the more memory is used.
If you are storing synthesized messages, you can store more quickly if you know what you want to type and what sequences you want to use.
The recording microphone is the small hole located to the top right of the infrared window on the front of the case.
Record a Vocabulary Message
In the Activity Row of your Core vocabulary overlay, there is a ME Activity. This activity has keys where you can record your name and other information about yourself.
Tip! When you are doing any storing or editing, the OK key accepts and saves any changes you have made. The Cancel key returns the key to the way it was before you began to modify it.
To Record and Store a Message
1. Select the ME key 
from the Activity Row (the top row on your overlay). You see some of the messages in the ME Activity.

If the message was too loud select a lower number in the Microphone Volume option.
