The talking book format allows up to four hours of recording per tape and enables the use of index tones so users can quickly fast-forward or rewind to the beginning of new sections or chapters. Speed and pitch control allow listening at up to twice normal speed.

The APH Table Top model has a built-in rechargable battery and power cord. The power cord is stored in a compartment in the rear of the player.
