The Reading Pen gives someone the independence to read on their own. Scan over a typed word & instantly hear it aloud with built-in speaker(headphones also included). The portable pen is especially designed for people with reading difficulties such as Dyslexia. The Reading Pen features the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, containing over 240,000 words and definitions, hundreds of new words and phrases. The Pen has a British digital voice which can turn any text into speech. The Reading Pen scans a word or line of text, displays the scanned words in LARGE characters on the LCD screen, pronounces the scanned word(s) & reads the definition out loud.
At the end of the session you can review the words you had difficulty with as the pen stores the last 80 scanned words.
What is Dyslexia? According to the British Dyslexia Association dyslexia is best described as a combination of abilities and difficulties that affect the learning process in one or more of reading, spelling and writing. Accompanying weaknesses may be identified in areas of speed of processing, short term memory, sequencing and organisation, auditory and/or visual perception, spoken language and motor skills. It is particularly related to mastering and using written language, which may include alphabetic, numeric and musical notation.
