Talking Signs are stationary robots that talk by a wireless microphone system, or by a recorded message on a cassette tape or digital chip. The message can be activated automatically by infra-red sensor or manually by push buttons -- or by a combination of both. Their mouth movement is automatic, in sync with the sound, and they also can turn their heads automatically.

They are excellent as greeters in restaurants, retail stores or anywhere you want to capture customers' attention. Talking Signs can be strategically placed in a store to talk about sale items, special promotions, directions, instructions, upcoming events, etc.

They are popular with realtors to describe home features at open houses.

They are also great for educational purposes in schools, libraries and museums.

Prices for Talking Signs range from $1200 to $3000, depending on options and characters.
