A transparent cap, with an opening to quickly slide in overlays, snaps onto the Big Button. The cap extends nearly to the table surface, giving the Big Button a large active area with an extremely low profile. YWith Big Button you can communicate without saying a word.

Choose from two styles: the Big Button and the Big Button with Steps and Levels. Both have the qualities you expect from a communication device: great sound, durability, affordability, and ease of use.

The Big Button has two modes: single message and tap-to-talk mode. In single message mode, you get one great sounding communication. In tap-to-talk mode, the user can choose one of up to three messages, controlled by the number of button taps (similar to single or double clicking a computer mouse). One button tap plays the first message, two taps the second message, and three taps the third.

The Big Button with Steps and Levels also has two modes: steps and levels. In the steps mode, you can record three activities, each with up to ten 6-second steps. After recording, you select an activity and the user plays the steps in sequence, one by one. An LCD indicates the activity and step number. The level mode gives you an additional ten distinct messages. The message stays the same until you change the level.

An overlay storage compartment on the back makes changing an overlay a snap. It’s easy to erase or edit messages without affecting the other recordings. For example, if you want to change Step 5 of a Making Coffee activity, simply select the activity, press record, move up to Step 5, press the play button, and record your new message. All other steps remain intact.
