GoTalk StepPad
$49.00
The StepPad is a small recorder that plays back spoken directions one step at a time, so someone can get through a multi-step task such as a morning routine without help. You record each step in your own voice, then the user presses Next to hear the next step, Play to hear it again, or Back to review an earlier one. It holds four activities at two levels, with up to 30 steps in each, and any single step can be re-recorded or a new one inserted without disturbing the rest. You can also lock it to one activity so the user doesn't get lost or change the recordings by accident. It's a good fit for someone who loses their place in a sequence or needs prompting to finish a task on their own, and it can serve as a short-term teaching tool or a long-term aid. It's small enough to carry in a hand or purse, with built-in lanyard loops and a belt loop slot.

Key Chain Talker
$19.00
The Key Chain Talker is a small recorder that holds one eight-second message and plays it back when you press its large button. A light comes on while you're recording, so it's easy to tell when it's working. Because it clips onto a key chain, it suits quick auditory reminders like a shopping item, where you parked, or a spot on your daily schedule. It stores just one short message at a time, so recording a new one replaces the old one.

Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter- Blue
$29.99
The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 is a reusable LCD writing tablet. You write on it with the included stylus, and a button clears the screen when you're done. It gives someone who can't speak, or finds speaking hard, a quick way to share a message, a phone number, or a list by writing it out. The screen needs no power to hold an image, so there's no on/off switch. A small amount of power is used only when you press erase. It's a good fit for keeping around the house or office, or for taking along. It's a handwriting tool, so the person needs enough hand control to write or draw. The maker also offers a free Jot mobile app.

Recordable Cards
Est. $20–$60
These dry-wipe cards each hold a 10-second recorded message that plays back when you press the button on the front. You can re-record the audio whenever you like and write notes or instructions on the wipe-clean surface, which makes them handy for personalized prompts, reminders, practice activities, and simple games. They come in A4 and A6 sizes, and the batteries are included. Each card holds only one short message, so longer instructions need several cards.

Grid Pad Go
Est. $1,500–$3,500
The Grid Pad Go is a portable, tough communication device that runs Smartbox's Grid software, so a person can speak with symbols or text and have the device say it aloud. It has a tactile handle and strap, can be mounted to a wheelchair, and is drop tested to 1 meter with extra screen protection. For people who can't tap a screen easily, it has two switch ports, oversized buttons, and an optional keyguard (a plate that guides the finger to the right spot). Grid also gives access to apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook, and it supports a range of voices as well as a personalized voice. The page lists it for people whose speech is affected by conditions such as autism, cerebral palsy, early MND/ALS, stroke, or aphasia.

Talking Photo Album Deluxe
Est. $50–$90
The Talking Photo Album Deluxe lets you slip a photo or picture onto each page and record a spoken message to go with it. Pressing the page's play button plays the message back, and you can re-record it whenever you like. That makes it useful for telling stories, sharing a daily schedule, or jogging memories. It has a built-in speaker with adjustable volume plus an earphone socket for private listening, and recordings stay saved when you change the batteries. You can also load WAV or MP3 files over USB. The page count and recording time are stated inconsistently (30 double-sided pages versus 20 pages, 2 hours total), so check the details before ordering if capacity matters to you.

Voice Pad
Est. $40–$80
The Voice Pad is a simple recordable device: press the red button to record up to 40 seconds of sound, then press the green button to play it back. It comes as a pack of five, so a classroom or group can use several at once. A clear cover with a dry-wipe insert lets you add a picture or words that match each recording, and a lock switch protects a message from being erased by accident. A built-in mirror adds something to look at and explore, and the pad can sit on a table with its kick stand, hang on a wall, or stick to a metal surface with its magnet. It holds only one short message per pad, so it suits single words, phrases, or sound effects rather than anything longer.

Communication Boards
Est. $80–$400
These are large printed symbol boards that you mount on a wall or fence so people can point to pictures to communicate, in places like school playgrounds, libraries, hospitals, and swimming pools. There are 10 designs based on Super Core grid sets, in two sizes (1189 x 420mm or 1682 x 594mm) and two materials: rigid Dibond that you screw or nail up, or PVC banners with eyelet loops that you secure with cable ties. Both work indoors or outdoors, and you can have up to 8 cells customized with nouns, equipment, or key places for your location. The listing says the boards are sold only in the UK and Ireland and priced by quote, so check ordering options before planning around them.

Surface Pro EyeGaze Education: eyetuitive for Windows
Est. $1,500–$3,500
This bundle pairs a Windows Surface Pro tablet with eyetuitive's eye gaze system, so a student can control the tablet by looking at the screen instead of touching it. It's put together for the special education classroom, and the maker describes it as portable, sturdy, and easy to use. Because the tablet and the eye gaze pieces come as one package, you're not hunting for compatible parts yourself. Eye gaze works best when it's matched to the student's vision, positioning, and goals, so expect to get help from a therapist or ATP when choosing software and tuning the setup.

Talking Tiles
Est. $20–$60
The Talking Tile is a square, single-message voice recorder. You record up to 80 seconds of speech, music, or sound, press the tile to play it back, and re-record whenever you want a new message. A removable clear cover lets you slip in a picture, symbol, or word that matches what you recorded. A locking switch protects the message from being erased by accident, and built-in holes let you hang it on a wall for a display. It also has an audio-in socket and a 3.5mm lead, so you can record from a CD player or computer. It holds one message at a time, so it suits simple choices, greetings, and classroom activities better than full conversation.

Talking Yes & No Buttons with Braille
$19.95
This set gives someone two big buttons for answering questions: a green one for "Yes!" and a red one for "No!" Each button is about 3 inches across, and the words "yes" and "no" are also marked in braille, so the buttons can be told apart by touch as well as by color. It suits a person who finds speaking, hearing, or reading print hard and needs a simple way to give a clear answer. It handles only yes and no, so it won't cover requests or longer thoughts. It runs on 2 AAA batteries, which aren't included.

Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter- Gray
$29.99
The Jot 8.5 is a reusable LCD writing tablet. You write on it with the included stylus, and a button wipes the screen clean when you're done. It gives someone who can't use their voice, or who is hard of hearing, a quick way to write a message, a phone number, or a list and show it to another person. The screen shows a bright, high-contrast line and holds the image without power, so there's no on/off switch. This is a simple writing surface, not a speech device, so it can't speak for you. It also has no storage of its own, and the erase button clears the whole screen at once.

Smooth Talker with Levels
Est. $150–$350
The Smooth Talker with Levels is a recordable voice output device. You record messages onto it, and it plays them back when it's activated. It holds 8 minutes of total recording time, shared across five levels, so you can set aside more or less memory for different activities. It has many playback modes, such as stepping through messages in order, playing them in random order, offering choices from a menu, and asking a question that gets an answer. You can also add a new message to a recording without erasing what's already there. It charges from a USB socket, can be used while charging, and has twin speakers. For wired switch access, there's an input socket, or you can pair a wireless switch like the it-Switch. With all those modes and levels, it's a flexible tool for classroom, therapy, or home use, but it takes some planning to set up well.

LITTLE Step-by-Step
$220.00
The LITTLE Step-by-Step plays back a series of recorded messages in order, one for each press of its button. That makes it useful for telling a story, walking through the steps of a routine, counting, or telling a knock-knock joke. You can record three separate sets of messages, with about four minutes of total recording time shared across them, so one device can serve different activities during the day. It comes with red, yellow, green, and blue tops and a clear snap cap that holds a picture symbol, so the person pressing it sees what the message is about. It plays one message at a time and can't build new sentences, so it works best for planned, scripted turns.

Big Button with Steps and Levels
$109.00
The Big Button with Steps and Levels is a recordable voice output button. Press it, and it plays back a message you recorded. It has two modes. In Steps mode, each press plays the next message in a sequence, which suits storytelling, directions, or any activity done in order. In Levels mode, you store different sets of messages and switch between them. There are nine levels with 6 seconds of recording each, plus one longer level with 14 seconds. You can re-record or erase one message without touching the others, so fixing Step 5 of a sequence leaves the rest alone. The clear snap-on cap sits close to the table, which gives a large target that responds to a light touch. A storage slot on the back holds the picture overlays you swap in and out. It runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are included.

Big Button With Steps and Labels
$109.00
This is a single-button voice output device. Pressing the large, low-profile button plays back a message you've recorded, so it works for someone who can only manage a small, light push. A clear cap on top holds picture overlays, so the button can show what it will say. The standard Big Button plays one 48-second message, or up to three 24-second messages by tapping once, twice, or three times. The Steps and Levels version adds sequenced prompts: three activities with up to ten 6-second steps each, plus ten separate message levels. A small screen shows the activity and step number. Someone has to record and organize the messages before it's useful, and the number of tap-to-talk messages is limited to three.

Communication Board- Picture Board
$29.99
This picture communication board helps someone point to what they need when speaking is hard or impossible. It has body pictures for showing where something hurts or needs attention, plus a color-coded 0-10 pain scale for showing how bad it is. Letters and numbers let the person spell out or count what the pictures don't cover. The surface is dry-erase and a marker comes with it, so you can write notes or custom messages and wipe them clean. It measures 11 inches wide by 17 inches long, and the wording is in English. As a printed board with no voice, it relies on a partner who can see it and respond to what is pointed to.

Boogie Board Jot 8.5 LCD eWriter - White
$29.99
The Boogie Board Jot 8.5 is a reusable LCD writing tablet. You write on it with the included stylus, and the bright, high-contrast surface shows your words until you press the erase button. That makes it a simple way to share a message, phone number, or list with someone when speaking is hard. It needs no on/off switch, because it only uses a tiny bit of power when you erase, and it's light enough to carry or leave in a few spots around the house or office. It works for writing only, with no voice output, so the other person has to read what you write.

STACS: Standardized Tactile Augmentative Communication Symbols
$734.81
STACS is a set of standardized tactile symbols that a learner can feel with their hands to talk about people, places, events, and ideas. It gives learning partners like teachers, parents, and peers a beginning vocabulary to teach, and they can add more individualized symbols as the learner's needs grow. A digital instruction manual and online videos show partners how to use the symbols as part of daily communication, so it's meant for someone who has no formal way to communicate yet. This is a teaching system, not a one-touch device, so the people around the learner need to put in time to teach the symbols well.

The Talking Button lets you record a message up to 10 seconds long, then plays it back loudly each time someone presses the button.

Each button is small enough to mount on a board or wall, and replaceable LR44 batteries are included. With only 10 seconds per button, it suits short phrases and single messages rather than longer speech.

BIG TalkingBrix
$295.00
BIG TalkingBrix is a set of three single-message speech buttons. Pressing the large colored top plays a recorded message up to 10 seconds long. You can use each button on its own, or connect them to build a multi-message device for making choices. Because each button holds a different message, they work well placed around a classroom or home, or shared so several people each have their own message. A clear snap cover holds a picture symbol or photo so the user can see what the button says. Symbol overlays aren't included, but AbleNet offers a free iPad app for making them. The rechargeable battery and drop-resistant build suit busy settings.
