Learning Resources Recordable Answer Buzzers - Set of 4, Ages 3+ | Pre-K Personalized Sound Buzzers, Recordable Buttons, Game Show Buzzers, Perfect for Family Game and Trivia Nights

These are loud, unlike Fluent Pet buttons (which we returned for this reason). The recording quality isn't great, but it works well enough. It struggles to pick up certain sounds ('W' always sounds like 'L', so my cat calls me a liar whenever he wants to play with his wire toy lol).My cat couldn't figure out how to put enough weight on them to trigger them, so I opened them up and jerry rigged them to trigger with the lightest touch. Inside, there is a little metal piece that sort of pops inside out when pressed (like a freshness seal on a jar lid). When it pops the other direction, it touches another bit of metal, completes the circuit, and the sound triggers. You can take this piece of metal and flatten it out a bit, so that it doesn't need to actually be popped to work. It will now trigger when the top of the button is just barely touched. It can be kind of finicky to get right (some of our buttons go off on their own sometimes, or go off when moved). This is a lot of work, but my cat could not figure it out without us doing this.After he had gotten comfortable using these rigged buttons to constantly beg for treats and laser pointers every waking moment of the day, I decided it was time to try the non-rigged buttons again. So, I replaced his favorite button ('treat', obviously) with a non-jerry rigged button and worked on teaching him to actually press it down.I did this by putting a treat under a tupperware container, saying 'paw' and tapping on the top of it, then revealing the treat to him only when he touched the top of the container the right way. Once he had that down, I put the tupperware over the treat button and continued to give him treats when he placed a confident little paw smack dab on the top of the container. Finally, I took away the container, tapped the button, and asked for 'paw'. He obviously thought I was a moron, because he quickly and lightly pawed at the side of it, with no care in the world, the way he always does with his rigged buttons. But this time it didn't work. I tapped it and asked for 'paw' again, and I could see his neurons stretching to reach each other in that little head of his, as he placed his paw smack dab on the top, and started to experiment with it. Whenever he started to act defeated, I pressed it and gave him a treat to prove this wasn't some sick joke. I actively trained him for about 20 minutes for a few days, and he would approach the button on his own and try new things in the mean time. Whenever he accidentally triggered it I gave him extra treats. Eventually he figured out how to consistently trigger the button, and now he can use them regularly.

Para trabajar con niños es espectacular

The sound quality isn’t the best, but it’s super easy to use and set up. I really love the variety of colors—it adds a nice touch—and the size is just perfect. Great for casual use if you're not too picky about the audio!

They work but my voice was only clear on two of them. The volume was good, not too loud but not too quiet, just not clear dictation for letter sounds and words.

Definately a good purchase. The students use them as chinese telephone. I love the colours and the voice recording is clear

The recording times on these buttons is short. Like a few seconds short, but that's all I needed. I saw stuff on instagram where this woman gave her dog these buttons with a single word recorded on each button so the dog could communicate (no joke, it's @hungry4words). I wanted to try it with my cat, so I bought a set. The recording time is just long enough for a single word, which is all I need. (I have 4 buttons, so I did "treat," "water," "food," and "outside." He is still learning to use his buttons, but he's got treat down. Now he can learn to press the button to tell me which thing he wants. That's taking a while, but that's a cat/person issue. The buttons themselves work great. Recording your word is easy, and the volume at which it plays when you press the button is good (not too quiet, but not obnoxiously loud). I only wish the recording time was a pinch longer, but overall these buttons work great for what I need them for. And so far I haven't had a single one die on me, so they've got good battery life (we use that treat button every single day, sometimes multiple times a day, and I've been using them for MONTHS) so the battery life life seems pretty adequate. I'm very happy with them, and once he's got the hang of it completely and understands/knows/uses these 4 words, I plan on buying more sets and slowly introducing new words.EDIT: Concerning recording, when I spoke the words in to record, I said them at a loud volume, but still what I would consider an "inside voice" and I didn't have to yell or anything, just raise my voice a notch or two above polite talking (to slightly loud talking, but nowhere near yelling).Also, my cat only weighs 13 pounds, and he can easily push one with a single paw, so they are very easy to press, and I think any animal that would be capable of training could press them, so any person, even one with disabilities shouldn't have an issue. And even if you smash them pretty hard, they should be fine. (I drop them sometimes, heck, one even fell down our stairs and it was fine)
