Product Information

Essentially, reading pens and other text to speech technologies are based on the idea that one of the main causes of reading disabilities comes from the difficulty in decoding written words, particularly in children with dyslexia.

Available in more than 20 languages, including English, Spanish, German, French, Portuguese, Russian, Arabic, Mandarin, Japanese, and more. By reading the text out loud, the traditional written presentation of text is combined with hearing it spoken aloud, which reduces the need for a student to decode the words in front of them. In other words, being able to listen to text while they read it can help students with their reading. Become a fluent and independent reader and improve literacy with the help of C-Pen Reader 2. AccessibilityHowever, because of the extra hardware, stand alone reader pens can be a little more expensive and may not get as many new features with each update as less complex devices. Device Dependent Reader Pens Multi-Language DictionariesNot sure about a word? Then the C-Pen Reader 2™ contains a range of high-quality electronic dictionaries, including: The innovative design of the C-Pen makes it suitable for learners aged 6 or over. The manufacturers of the C-Pen have managed to keep the pen light weight so that younger children can easily grip it and don’t struggle to control it. They have also, unlike many other similar devices, installed a camera, which means users don’t have to be so precise with their scanning. Introducing C-Pen Reader 2 ™, the next generation of assistive reading tools designed to put even more control into the user’s hands. Whether studying or simply reading for pleasure, this new and improved reading pen features enhanced AI to improve accessibility, and boost reading confidence. A Reading Aid for the Hybrid Age Office Lens – Office Lens is a free app that uses OCR technology to allow people to scan a wide range of documents, photos and even whiteboards onto their phone or laptop.

Reading pens have been marketed to parents as a cool bit of assistive technology for dyslexia. Essentially a pen that reads text out loud to you, over the last few years these scanning pens have become fairly popular with parents of students with reading difficulties. About the size of a highlighter, they’re portable, relatively accurate and, to be honest, can be quite handy for both students and adults with dyslexia. This is set by Hotjar to identify a new user’s first session. It stores a true/false value, indicating whether this was the first time Hotjar saw this user. It is used by Recording filters to identify new user sessions. If you’ve decided that you’re interested in buying a reader pen, one final thing you may want to consider is whether you want a stand alone or device dependent pen. Stand Alone Reader PensThe concept of the C-Pen is built around the need to help students improve their reading skills, such that in 2015, PISA identified that 18% of 15-year-olds in England still fail to achieve the minimum level of literacy proficiency. Implementation of the C-Pen at home or in schools does not require specific training. However, some teachers involved in research have claimed that one training session was simply not enough to embed the pen into school life, but that instead students needed more guidance on how and when it was appropriate to use it. Usefulness I’m very impressed with the NEWYES Scan Reader Pen 3. It seems to work well, and the accuracy is very good too, I didn’t (well when I started to use it properly) find the pen make any text mistakes. I saw lots of comments from the internet experts on the TikTok video that Google does something similar, well yeah, obviously. But we all know how that performs when trying to use it, it’s usually littered with nonsense. Plus, this pen can help students in a classroom setting, where it might not be appropriate to whip out you phone to assist you.

Having a reading difficulty can seriously limit one’s available opportunities and damage their well-being and confidence. However, the C-Pen helps eliminate the anxiety and embarrassment associated with having to ask for assistance with reading. Instead, it offers those with dyslexia a sense of independence. If, for example, your child will be mainly reading off an e-reader, a tablet, a screen or (badly) photocopied or handwritten notes, a reader pen may not be the best option for you. With C-Pen, your students get a tool that empowers them and helps them read, understand and learn independently.

After all, we wouldn’t ask a child in a wheelchair to walk around, or ask a child with vision problems to just try and see more. Students with dyslexia have inbuilt, neurological language-based difficulties. That’s simply the way their brains are wired up and they need tools to help them. Various studies have found some evidence that text to speech and other read aloud tools can positively improve reading comprehension for students with dyslexia and reading difficulties. C-Pen Reader 2™ is the next generation reading aid designed for the way we live. It is ready to take on the challenge this semester, with high-speed AI-based text recognition, easy to access dictionary support, word breakdown functions and 16GB of scan-to-file storage.

The researchers found the following outcomes after just 6 weeks of pen use: This not only means that reading pens can help them with their actual reading, but it can also give your child a sense of freedom that can improve the overall reading experience.
