Talking ProductsVoice Recordable Greeting Card, 40 Seconds Recording with Replaceable Batteries. Record and Send Your own Personal Voice Message,Music or Sound Effects for Fathers Day & Birthday

Following my dad’s stroke he is unable to write. He wanted to send a special message to my niece (his granddaughter) for her 21st Birthday.I normally right all his card with him verbalising to me his message.This was the ideal solution, he recorded his message and my nieces face was an absolute picture when she opened the card and listened to the message. We placed this inside another card and added some decorations.The record function is so easy to use and if left in (you can turn it off at the back), the message plays when opened.Expensive, but to us as a family, it was worth it!

Really lovely card!Purchased it to record voice messages from loved ones to keep on it forever.The card is easy to operate,instructions were easy to follow.I had to create an audio file on my phone,because I needed to combine 3 voice messages from my husband,my best friend and my favourite singer,still had space for little segment of a song at the end!So 40 seconds time is more than enough.The sound quality is very good and clear too!Very pleased!You can also put pictures on the card.It fit three on mine,one on the front and two inside(horizontal ones).The card comes with batteries included.

Arrived on timeEasy to use

So I bought this for a good friend's birthday and the message was meant to be a funny surprise. We followed the instructions and there was no beep, no light. Tried again. Panicked and got mad at the card, switched on and off again and still nothing. Finally, at some point ist worked. I'm not sure what we did differently, maybe pressing into the battery? Maybe they were slightly misaligned at first? I have no idea. But once it worked, it was great. Easy to record, rerecord and play. The sound was loud and the surprise was great. So if it doesn't work for you, keep pushing it, change the position, etc. Maybe you'll get lucky as I did!

great product

It was packed very well with no chance of it getting damaged. It can record over and over (good idea if you get tongue tied) I wish it had a slightly longer recording time 'cause I had written a poem with 4, 4 lined verses and had to rush a bit for the 40sec time limit, but I suppose that's my issue. The recording was a tiny bit grainy but for the size of the speaker it's ok. On saying all that, I probably would buy again ... with just 3 verses this time :-)16/4/24 - Update of my first review- After having recording it about a million times and using the 4 verses :-) I have to say that it turned out extremely well and not grainy. I didn't speak as close to the "mike" this time and I was able to put some instrumental music behind my voice which worked brilliantly after a few tries putting the music at various points away from my voice. My daughter loved it and so did everyone else who heard it. Very, very pleased with the outcome. :-)

Am disappointed that I had to give this one star - it does not work - made my card and then went to record. Battery seems completely dead - tried to return on the amazon website - but you just go round and round - it never lets you complete the return - if you want to throw away a tenner - this does the job effectively

So, I can see this being so lovely for blind people, elderly people etc.However I got this for my sister and put a really annoying song on the recording.What makes it better is my 2 year old niece loved the idea and sat with it for days opening and closing it.Will be buying again when I need it!
