Versions

Library version 1.0 Sept 23, 2017 by LeRoy Miller
Library version 1.5 Mar 6, 2018 Updated to work with the Little Buddy Talker made by Patrick Thomas Mitchell
http://www.engineeringshock.com/the-little-buddy-talker-project-page.html
Mar 16 Updated to Arduino 1.5 Library Specs. Change version numbers to Semantic versioning. V1.5 now becomes v2.1.0 since it was a major change at the time.
See Information_README.txt for minor changes.
Library version 3.0.0 - Mar 19, 2018 Major change after finding some issues with LBT and 100+ Word Shield with HAM chip.
New version has the three variations split into three different libraries, see below for more information.
Version 4.0.0 - Apr 13, 2018 - All words are now UPPERCASE and use a underscore. This fixes a problem I found with some other libraries.

http://www.engineeringshock.com/the-big-buddy-talker-project-page.html

http://www.engineeringshock.com/arduino-e-z-comms-project-page.html
v5.1.0 - Mar 22, 2019 added support for softwareSPI - allows the 100+ Word Shield and E-Z Comms shield to work with the Leonardo and MEGA2560 Requires: The softwareSPI library by RevPhil https://github.com/RevPhil/arduino_SoftwareSPI

Usage

The library attempts to use the words from the word list provided by Patrick Thomas Mitchell. For the most part this is accomplished.
See the Information_README.txt file for specifics on some of the words.

include the library
#include "Word100.h"; //for the 100+ Word Shield with standard chip
#include "Word100Ham.h"; //for the 100+ Word Shield with Ham chip
#include "Word100LBT.h"; //for the LBT (Little Buddy Talker)
#include "Word100BBT.h"; //for the BBT (Big Buddy Talker)
invoke the class for your device:
Word100 Word100(10);
or for the custom ham radio chip:
Word100ham Word100(10);
For Little Buddy Talker (LBT) invoke:
Word100lbt Word100(10);
For Big Buddy Talker (BBT) invoke:
Word100bbt Word100(7,8,9,10);
in setup begin the class:
Word100.begin();
say your word - examples show how to do this from an array, but...
Word100.say(word);

See Information_README.txt file for more information on the specifics of some of
the words used in this library.
