Description
The C-Pen Reader 3 is a scanning pen which reads text out aloud or discretely through earphones. It has a built-in Collins English dictionary so word definitions are a button press away. This popular product is ideal for those who suffer from reading difficulties such as dyslexia.
The C-Pen Reader pen scanner is a major technological breakthrough for anyone learning English and is a lifesaver for those who suffer from reading difficulties such as dyslexia. The C-Pen Reader is a totally portable, pocket-sized device that reads text out aloud with an English human-like digital voice.
The in-built dictionary puts the power of Collins English Dictionary (30th Anniversary Edition Tenth edition) in your hands. Simply pass the nib across a word and it instantly displays the definition and reads it aloud. It is also a scanner for capturing lines of text and uploading them to a PC or Mac, making it ideal for students, teachers and professionals to capture essential information.
The pen is half the size of other portable pen scanners on the market and at 50g is half the weight. Importantly this means it can be used by a younger generation of English learners making this learning tool suitable for children (age 6+) and adults.
This is the only portable line scanner on the market that is both Mac and PC compatible. There is no software required, just connect the pen to a computer with a USB cable and it appears as an external hard drive. Other features include a built-in voice recorder with playback.
