The QuickTalker 7 provides five recording levels, allowing for increased flexibility and a greater number of unique messages (up to 23 messages per level).

3. Core Messages

The QuickTalker 7 has three dedicated locations for core messages. These messages are highly useful words or phrases that are applicable across various settings and remain consistent across all five recording levels. Messages recorded in these locations will not change when you switch between levels.
