Description
The Multi-Memo can record and playback multiple messages, with a total recording capacity of 6 minutes (360 seconds).
Up to 60 voice messages can be saved and stored on the device and then played back one at a time by using the skip forward and skip backward buttons. Individual messages can also be deleted if/when required. A locking switch at the back of the unit allows the user to protect any messages from being accidentally erased.

What our experts think
The Multi-Memo is great for supporting the development of spoken language and listening skills. Our testers enjoyed using the device to ask each 0ther questions – this encouraged them to communicate, listen and respond to each other. This then turned into a quiz, where an adult asked the questions and the children worked together to get the right answers.
Our testers also found the Multi-Memo great for their storytelling. They made up a story and then passed it on to others to listen and add to, like their own version of the ‘consequence game’. This is fantastic for their creativity and developing these skills aloud helps children to progress towards writing their stories down. We found the device also built confidence in speaking aloud, especially for shy children or those with speech difficulties.
