Price is what the vendor listed when last checked. Confirm it with the vendor before buying.

Setup with instructions The button works on its own, but getting good results means choosing a mode, recording messages in the right order, and matching overlays to them. A family member can do all of that from the instructions in about half an hour, so it fits guided setup. A therapist can help decide what messages and layout suit the person, but it isn't needed.

What it is

Summary

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

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.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    The 2 AAA batteries are included, so the button is ready to power up out of the box.
  • With a guide
    1. Choose Steps mode for a sequence or Levels mode for separate message sets, then record your messages one at a time.
    2. Slide a picture or symbol overlay under the cap and store spare overlays in the compartment on the back.
    3. Try each message with the person who will use it and re-record any that need changes. Plan on about 20-30 minutes to get your first set ready. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
