What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
The iTalk2 with Levels is a pre-recorded voice output communicator with two message buttons, where each button can store messages across multiple levels — giving you more phrases than the button count suggests. It's designed for someone who communicates using a small set of spoken messages and benefits from a simple, physical button layout rather than a touchscreen. The device comes with colored caps that hold picture symbols, a built-in speaker, and switch jacks so it can be activated by an external switch if direct button pressing is difficult. At $500, this is a complete, standalone device — though you'll need to record messages and select vocabulary before it's useful, which typically works best with an SLP or caregiver who understands the user's communication needs.

What Setup Looks Like
- Out of the box
Insert batteries and press a button to confirm the device powers on — no messages will be stored yet. - With a guide
- Print or cut picture symbols to size and insert them under the clear snap caps on each button.
- Record messages for each button and each level by following the AbleNet quick-start guide — allow 20-30 minutes for initial recording.
- With professional help
- A speech-language pathologist (SLP) should select vocabulary, determine how many levels to use, and align recorded phrases with the user's communication goals.
- Expect 1-3 sessions to configure and trial the device in real communication contexts. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
