Via
Est. $1,500–$8,000
The Via is a speech-generating device built on iOS, so it looks and feels familiar to anyone who has used an iPhone or iPad. It runs research-based AAC apps, including TouchChat, LAMP Words for Life, and WordPower. The family has several models: the Pro, the compact and durable Nano, and the Mini, which is also durable and portable. This is a complete communication device for someone who can't rely on speech. Choosing the right model, app, vocabulary, and way to access it is a big decision, so an evaluation with a speech-language pathologist helps.

Novachat
Est. $1,500–$8,000
The NovaChat is a dedicated speech-generating device that runs on an Android platform. It gives someone who can't rely on speech a customizable way to talk, using software like WordPower to build messages for chatting, answering questions, or writing to others. It comes in a rugged wrap with easy-grip handles and a tempered-glass screen protector, so it's built to go with you through the day. A built-in speaker, visual cues that highlight selected items, and a feature called InputStick, which lets the device act as a wireless keyboard for a personal computer, round it out. Keyguards and similar touch-access supports can help with accurate selection.

VoiceBooster 20 Watt Portable Voice Amplifier MR2300
$92.99
The VoiceBooster MR2300 is a small, 20-watt voice amplifier that makes a quiet or tired voice louder, enough to fill about 6,000 square feet. It comes with a headset microphone, a waistband so you can wear the unit hands-free, and a carry bag. It also takes input from an MP3 player, so you can play music or sound along with your voice. It runs on a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts 10-15 hours per charge. It suits someone whose voice doesn't carry on its own, such as a teacher, a coach, a tour guide, or a person with a vocal disability. It is a stand-alone amplifier, not a talking device, so it makes your own speech louder but doesn't speak for 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.

Mountain Precision Manufacturing NuVois III Digital Speech Aid
$530.00
The NuVois III is a handheld electrolarynx, a device that makes a voice for people who can't produce one with their vocal cords. It has volume and pitch buttons, so the sound can rise and fall for emphasis instead of staying flat. Two on/off buttons can each be set to their own volume, so you can use a quieter setting for close conversation and a louder one in a noisy room. At 4.5 oz with batteries, it is easy to carry. The kit includes two rechargeable 9V NiMH batteries, a charger, an oral adapter with tubes, and a use and care guide. Learning to place it well and shape speech with it usually goes better with speech therapy support.

$89.95
The VoiceBooster MR2200 is a small, belt-worn voice amplifier that makes a soft or weak voice louder through a headset microphone. It puts out up to 16 watts, so it can help someone with a vocal disability be heard in a group, and it is also used by teachers, tour guides, coaches, and clergy. It has a built-in MP3 player and FM radio with automatic tuning, and it can work as a plain speaker for music. The headset, charger cable, MP3 cable, removable belt clip, adjustable waistband, and carry bag all come in the box. A built-in rechargeable battery gives about 10 to 15 hours of use per charge. It amplifies the voice you already have, so it won't replace speech for someone who can't speak.

BIG Step-by-Step
$220.00

It comes with red, yellow, green, and blue tops and a clear snap-on cap that holds a picture symbol, and it runs on the 9V battery that comes with it. It suits someone who needs a simple way to take part in a routine or conversation by pressing one big button, and it is light enough to carry between school, therapy, and home.

QuickTalker FT 12
$265.00
The QuickTalker FT 12 is a recordable voice output device with twelve message spots, so someone can speak by pressing a spot instead of using their own voice. Three core messages stay the same on every level, and nine others change as you switch between five recording levels. That lets you set up different message sets for places like the classroom, lunchroom, bus, or home. The membrane is built to take about 70% less force to press than a standard one, which helps someone with limited strength or dexterity. It holds 12 minutes of total recording time across all levels, so each message needs to stay fairly short.

Talk Pad
Est. $1,500–$4,000
The Talk Pad is a dedicated communication device that speaks for someone who can't rely on natural speech. It comes in an 8-inch or 10-inch size and can be provided with Grid AAC software, which lets a person build messages from symbols and text.

It's built to go places, with a tactile handle, a carry strap, wheelchair mounting, large blue power and volume buttons, a 1m drop-test rating, and IP22 protection. Because the right size, access method, and vocabulary setup vary a lot from person to person, it helps to have a speech-language pathologist or AAC specialist involved.

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.

$492.42
The NuVois I is a handheld electronic larynx, a device that produces a speaking voice for someone who can't make one naturally, such as after the voice box has been removed.

The kit comes ready to use, with two rechargeable 9V NiMH batteries, a charger, an oral adapter, and tubes. It uses analog frequency, so expect a more robotic tone than natural speech.

It also has an audio-in socket and a 3.5mm lead, so you can record from a CD player or computer.

ChatterVox Portable Voice Amplifier
$254.95

You wear a headset microphone, and the amplifier and speaker unit sits in a padded neoprene pack that weighs under a pound.

It runs on rechargeable batteries, with a backup option of AA batteries if you forget to charge it. This is for someone whose voice is too quiet to be heard, and it boosts your own speech rather than speaking for you. The microphone comes as a headset, collar, or pencil style, so you need to choose one when you order.

Provox TruTone Plus Electrolarynx
$1,062.16
The Provox TruTone Plus is a handheld electrolarynx, a battery-powered device that makes a buzzing tone you hold against the neck or use with an oral tube, so someone without a working voice box can speak.

You can choose masculine or feminine voicing, adjust the pitch, and set it to a steady monotone or variable pitch without tools. The hourglass-shaped body is built for a comfortable grip, and the kit includes a rechargeable lithium battery, a micro-USB charging cord, a lanyard, an oral adapter, and oral tubes. Learning where to place it and how to shape clear speech with it goes much better with a speech-language pathologist's help.

Grid
Est. $200–$600

It can be customized to fit how a person communicates and accesses a device, and it offers many voices in many languages, including options to upload a recording or use a personalized AI voice.

QuickTalker FeatherTouch 7
$265.00
The QuickTalker FeatherTouch 7 is a portable voice output device that plays back recorded messages when someone touches its membrane surface. It responds to very light touches, so it works for small fingers or limited strength.

That makes it easy to set up one level for the classroom, another for the bus, and another for home. The device doesn't come with symbol overlays, so you'll need to make your own, and AbleNet offers a free iPad app for that. Batteries are included.
