Professional guidance helps A family could record messages and get it working alone. But the real benefit comes from choosing the right vocabulary, symbols and layout for the person. A speech-language pathologist or ATP can make that much more effective, so professional guidance is recommended rather than required.

What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

The QuickTalker FeatherTouch 23 is a dedicated talking device where you record your own voice messages and trigger them by pressing light-touch squares on its surface. It has 3 larger core message squares plus 20 smaller ones, and it holds up to 18 minutes of recording. You can store several different recordings under each square and swap them in as needs change. Picture or symbol overlays are not included, so you'll need to make or source them yourself. AbleNet offers a free iPad app for creating symbol overlays. It runs on 4 AA batteries, has a carrying handle, and does not have a switch input or mounting connection.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Put in 4 AA batteries and record a message under one of the squares to hear it play back.
  • With a guide
    1. Make or print symbol overlays that match the squares. The free AbleNet Symbol Overlay app for iPad can help you design them.
    2. Record your messages and set up the multiple recording levels. Plan about an hour to get a first useful layout. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    An SLP or ATP can help choose which messages and symbols go on the device, and how to lay them out for the person's vocabulary and access skills. Plan one or more sessions, plus follow-up as the vocabulary grows.
