Professional guidance helps The device itself is simple to power up and record on, so a family could get it working alone. The harder part is deciding which messages to record, how to organize five levels, and how to teach someone to use them. A speech-language pathologist or teacher can make a big difference to how well it works, so professional help is recommended but not required.

What it is

Summary

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

The QuickTalker FT 23 is a portable communication board that speaks recorded messages aloud when someone touches a message square. It holds 103 messages across five recording levels: three core messages stay the same on every level, and each level adds 20 of its own, so you can set up one level for reading, another for the lunchroom, and so on. The FeatherTouch surface takes about 70% less force to activate, which helps someone with limited strength or dexterity. It runs on included AA batteries and has a built-in carrying handle. A person still has to record the messages and plan what goes on each level, so it works best with help from a speech-language pathologist or teacher.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    The 4 AA batteries are included, so you can power it on and start recording and playing messages right away.
  • With a guide
    1. Record the three core messages first, then choose what each of the five levels will be used for (reading, classroom, home, and so on).
    2. Record the 20 messages for each level you plan to use, and place matching picture or symbol overlays if the person relies on them. Allow about an hour to set up your first levels. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    A speech-language pathologist or AAC specialist can help choose which messages and symbols to use, how to lay out each level, and how to teach the person to use it. Plan on one or two sessions.
