While other companies supply multiple different products, each meeting one singular AAC need, our philosophy is different. We believe that simplicity, functionality, and consolidation are key – we provide one product to meet all of these needs. The Smooth Talker provides the option to easily switch between 6 different playback modes, eliminating the need for different devices to perform different functions.

The 6 playback modes of the Smooth Talker are:

• Single: Play a single message
• Sequence: Play multiple messages in order
• Random: Play multiple messages in a random order

For the next three modes, connect an external switch for two-switch use

• Choice: Choose from two messages, each switch playing a different message
• Converse: Use with two users – one with the Smooth Talker main switch, the other with the external switch. Users alternate switch presses to play their messages back and forth to each other. When it isn’t your turn, your message won’t play if you press your switch. Ideal for turn taking skills.
• Prompt: Auditory step scanning. The external switch plays the sequence of messages at half volume. Use the external switch to “scan” to the desired message, press the Smooth Talker main switch to “select” and play that message at full volume.

8 minutes of recording time

The Smooth Talker now has a massive 8 minutes of recording time! Spread this time out over messages however you so choose.

External Switch Connection

Choice, Converse, and Prompt modes require the use of an external switch. A switch jack on the back of the device is compatible with any standard wired switch. The Smooth Talker is also part of the SimplyWorks range, meaning it can be paired with a SimplyWorks wireless switch for a completely wireless solution.

If a user requires a specialized switch as an alternative access method (ex. pressure switch, grasp switch, etc.), this switch can be plugged into the standard switch jack and used in place of the Smooth Talker main switch in sequence or random mode.

Toy and Appliance Control

The Smooth Talker can also be used to operate switch adapted toys and electrical appliances. Toy or appliance output can be added to any message, and it can be chosen on a message by message basis during the recording process. Toys can be connected through a standard toy socket on the back on the Smooth Talker. Also, as part of the SimplyWorks range, the Smooth Talker can be paired with a Control or ControlPro for more wireless toy control, or it can be paired with an iClick for electrical appliance control.
