AbleNet QuickTalker 12 - Portable Multi-Message Speech Device with FeatherTouch Technology, 48 Messages, 5 Recording Levels, and Durable Design, AAC Communication Device for Non Verbal Kids & Adults

This item is pure junk! There are no pictures, it takes batteries which weren’t mentioned, and worst of all there’s no pictures!!! Save your money!!! U get a childs toy with a few sheets of paper. Worth $5 at best .

Now that it’s set up it works great. For people with or without iPads, I learned through trial and error that I got the best results creating a word document and making a table. I made a table 5 rows across and 7 rows down. To create spacing for borders I had to add extra rows. The small top 3 boxes I made 1.5” high and 2.25” wide. In between each box I made narrow rows at 0.18” wide or high depending on whether they were meant to be narrow vertically or horizontally. The 9 larger boxes are 1.75” high and 2.25” wide. I had to narrow the margins on the word document to create a table this size. But it fits better than the template ablenet provides or the table that can be created on the symbol overlay app only available through iPads. Personally I don’t believe the app if worth the try to create a board. It does not fit correctly no matter how you cut the table because the boxes and margins are off. Also the options for pictures leaves a lot to be desired. I searched for my own pictures and just added word art to the table. After I printed it I lined up the empty sheets that came with the device because those boxes are to scale for the device, so I had my margine to cut my table to. Then I cut and laminated it. You can also just use the plastic sleeve provided with the blank box sheets. It took a long time because I didn’t have the information I just shared with you all. Good luck! It is doable.

No batteries included and useless. Waste of money.

Feature did not work on product. Need refund please

Replaced batteries. Made a picture sheet to insert. Followed the instructions. Will not record. When it plays, all I hear is static. Very disappointed. Was a Xmas present that didn’t work.
