Talking Tiles

I got this set of six talking tiles for my disabled son to use in conjunction with his Amazon Alexa. My son has some spoken language but gets very frustrated trying to get his Alexa to play what he wants it to - he often pauses in the middle of his sentence or repeats himself, which means the instruction is not clear enough to work. It's very difficult to find a way for someone with his level of physical disability/lack of coordination/learning disability to work any other system as he doesn't read and wouldn't press a series of buttons, so I thought these might help. I've recorded messages on four so far, printed out photos that work as prompts for him to know which button makes what music play (which he coloured in) and slipped these between the buttons and the covers. So far so good - he presses them and activates them properly, and my voice instruction is played loud enough for the speaker to be triggered (despite the speakers of the talking tiles being on the base).

Purchased for non verbal child who loves these , had to buy the writing wipe off stickers separately

We bought these to help train our dog to communicate with us through these buttons. The sound quality is surprisingly good (we had low expectations!), we are not talking about hi-fi speakers, but they are clear sounding. The colors of them are as advertised, they look good for this purpose and I like that you can put your own drawings under each one. The size is good, and I like that there is a Rec /Play switch, to avoid overwriting a recorded sound by mistake. I also like that there is a line in for audio to improve the quality of recordings if one wishes, though we have only tried speaking into the device. And there is an On/Off switch too. What I would like improved (for our needs) is to make the button easier to press. Our dog is very careful with toys and things in general, so the problem we have is that she will just sort of scratch/pull on the button, which will not cause it to play a sound most of the time. She is starting to learn that if she scratches it a bit harder sometimes it plays the sound and that this is what she needs to do. If you press down the button in the corner it will not play the sound, you have to press a bit more firmly maybe 1cm in from the corners for it to register. I hope this will be fixed for future versions as we want to buy many more buttons. We will have to work on teaching her to put more weight into this. The buttons seem quite sturdy, and I believe they would work well for bigger dogs too (our is medium sized).

Bought for my grandson and he loves them. Haven't yet run out of different uses. Play a treasure hunt game by recording and hiding the clues, give instructions - amazing what is then fun to do, teach colours, phonics, quiz answers etc. etc. Well made, easy to use. Bought dry wipe stickers and download recording lead as well. They will last many years as the uses will adapt with his age.

Our little boy lost the ability to speak at 2 years old and has spent the last two years using physical prompts. Now he uses my voice to ask for all sorts of things, it is a real novelty for him. Very happy with them as they complement PECS. Batteries last well and voice very clear. We put the PECS symbols under the clear removable cover.

Some of them can’t be switched on and off. The quality of the sound is very poor

Decent product. For the price I would expect it to come with batteries and it does not. Completely works as described. My expectations for the prices were just not met.

I don't need 80 seconds of recording, but I wanted some different shapes - to visually distinguish these from all the round ones I have. The sound recording is clear, and seems to have lasted well (several years along)

Considerando la tecnologia in ballo, forse 10 euro a bottone sono troppi però comunque sono facili da usare e la qualità costruttiva è nella media dei prodotti di plastica di questa fascia di prezzo. La confezione è arrivata un po' distrutta, come se fosse stata già usata e i pulsanti fossero stati rimessi dentro in modo non ordinato

Justo lo que quería para poder tener una comunicación con niños TEA

These are just what your aging parent/grandparent with dementia needs. Record a loving message (80 secs) and place your printed image under the top cover. (Then tape over the record/play button to prevent accidental erasure). Three AAA batteries means leaving them switched on for use shouldn't be too uneconomical.

Top, 3 piles AAA. Bon volume des voix enregistrée. Support communication pour une personne en situation de handicap très utile ! On regrette juste l'absence de mini vis pour les fixer de manière permanente si nécessaire

Die Ralking Tiles funktionieren gut. Die Aufnahmen sind klar genug und kang genug, um damit mit Kindern arbeiten zu können. Die Tiles sind auch ziemlich robust. Schön wäre ws gewesen, wenn Formvorlagen dabei gewesen wären, um die durchsichtigen Hüllen richtig mit Bildern bestücken zu könne
