Pretorian SimplyWorks Smooth Talker – Versatile Single & Sequential Message Communicator (8-min Record, Rechargeable)

The SimplyWorks Smooth Talker is a flexible, easy-to-use AAC communicator that grows with the learner. Record up to 8 minutes of high-quality speech across multiple messages, then choose how they play back: Sequential, Random, Random (no repeats), Choice, Choice Progression, Converse, Auditory Prompt, or Question/Answer. Use it standalone, with a wired or wireless switch, or pair it to control toys and mains appliances via the SimplyWorks ecosystem (e.g., Energise or iClick) for rewarding, cause-and-effect activities.

The latest design adds a built-in rechargeable lithium battery (use while charging), twin speakers for clear audio, and a large 125 mm low-profile activation surface with a secure top that won’t pop off during sessions.
