University is the first time being away from home and the start of adulthood, which opens up a whole new set of opportunities and challenges. However, the same challenges await those with dyslexia or other learning difficulties, so we at Scanning Pens are here to provide all the help needed to ensure students flourish in their course and head into the workplace with confidence.

A high proportion of university level learning is done independently, with tutors expecting students to study beyond lectures. Many courses are heavy on essays, so research and referencing from textbooks is a big part of academic life. This can often prove challenging for people with learning difficulties, which is why our Connect Pen is just what they need to make studying easier.

The Connect Pen is the next generation of text readers:

• Text to speech technology lets you listen while scanning text to make reading easier and improve working memory
• Ultra-fast processing scans text in 0.5 seconds for more efficient studying
• Save text as a local file, upload to the cloud drive or share it via message for seamless storage
• Instant translation provides accurate pronunciation for confident learning

Assessments can be stressful, so it’s important to ensure students with all learning difficulties feel at ease. Our ExamReader has been specially designed to help students reach their full potential in this environment.
