Scanning Pens are handheld, text-to-speech reading tools that capture printed text and read it aloud, giving users portable access to paper-based print whenever you need.
(All Products)

How the Pens Work
The pens are shaped like a small highlighter with an optical scanner in the tip; users glide the tip over a line of printed text, and the device instantly converts it using OCR into spoken words with a clear, human-like digital voice.
• Some models include on‑device menus, touchscreens or simple buttons so users can adjust volume, voices, speed, and languages without needing a separate computer.
• Depending on the model, pens can also store text, look up word definitions, translate words between dozens of languages, or connect to apps and documents (for example, to move scanned text into Word or other software).

Who They Benefit
• Learners who are dyslexic and other struggling readers who want access to print materials like books, handouts, and exams, without depending upon a human reader, supporting their independence and privacy.
• Students learning English or additional languages who benefit from immediate spoken feedback and on‑the‑spot translation of single words or whole lines of text, including while studying or traveling.
• Adults in the workplace or community who have reading challenges, attention differences, or visual stress and who need quick access to letters, forms, policies, and everyday print.
