The Obvious is a Raspberry Pi that runs the dictonary! We made this to act like the Ovilus which is used in various ghost hunting shows. You will need an LED display and buttons.

Please note this was written for an older linux kernel. This may not work due to the kernel update for Raspberry Pi.
Get a Raspberry Pi, LCD Display, and buttons.
Put the randomwords folder in your home directory.
Example: /home/rachael/randomwords/
Copy the shell script rc.local file to here: /etc/rc.local
This is the file that will start up your program when you turn on your Raspberry Pi. It's a linux thing.
Copy the shell script randwords.sh file to here: /usr/local/sbin
This is what the rc.local file is looking for. It will run these commands everytime you press the button!
cd /home/pi/randomwords/
python3 randomwords.py
The left button in the image will start a new sesson.
The far right button will turn off the Raspberry Pi for you. Wait for 15 seconds before unplugging.
Battery bank. I have an old battery from ThinkGeek that works great! Now it is portable.
