The C2 Compass is a miniature hand-held battery-operated eight-point compass with digitized voice output. The compass is contained in a semi-transparent light-blue enclosure.

A three-position slide switch on the side is used to switch the compass off (central position) and select one of the two in-built languages or voices.

The compass pronounces the eight compass points in clear digitized speech. There are two languages to select from (these can be determined at the time of order). Most major languages are supported and others can be added upon request. Customized voices are also available for volume purchasers.

As a facility intended for partially sighted people, the compass also includes an in-built color indicator (visible through the semi-transparent enclosure), which indicates the direction using a combination of three colours:
