Professional guidance helps You can unbox this and record messages on your own, so a family member can handle the basic setup. But getting real benefit depends on choosing the right messages, symbols, and level layout for the person. That planning goes better with an SLP or ATP, 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 portable speech device that plays recorded messages when someone touches its membrane surface, which responds to very light touches and small fingers. It holds 103 messages across five recording levels, with three core messages that stay the same on every level and 20 that change from level to level. That lets you set up one level for the classroom, another for the bus, and another for story time. Batteries are included, and it's built to handle drops. Symbol overlays are not included, so you'll need to make your own, for example with AbleNet's free overlay app for iPad.

What setup looks like

  • Out of the box
    Batteries are included, so you can start recording messages right out of the box.
  • With a guide
    1. Decide which messages go on each of the five recording levels, such as home, classroom, and bus.
    2. Record the three core messages and the 20 messages for each level you plan to use.
    3. Make symbol overlays with the free AbleNet Symbol Overlay app for iPad, print them, and fit them over the touch surface. Allow about an hour or two for a first full setup. See manufacturer support resources for detailed instructions.
  • With professional help
    A speech-language pathologist (SLP) or ATP can help choose the right messages and symbols and decide how to lay them out for the person's vocabulary and touch ability. A first session usually takes about an hour, with follow-up as needs change.
