e-pens World Scanner Go is a simple, dependable support for communicating in any language. But there are two key reasons it stands out from the crowd...

Reason #1 is that it’s a reading pen and a translator pen. All in one small, convenient package—so when it comes to flexing your parenting skills supporting children and young people with language development or just reading the menu in a country where you don’t speak a word of the language, it’s got you covered from the word go.

Reason #2 is bang for your buck. We mean it: simple doesn’t have to mean basic when it comes to e-pens World Scanner Go, and the big brains at e-pens have ensured that this little translator pen is jam-packed with functionality, but without the hefty price tag that puts far too many devices out of most folks’ financial comfort zone (especially at this time of year). So that’s 60+ languages, lightning-fast translation, and reliable reading support… all for less than a classic turkey (or tofu!) festive dinner.

So how can e-pens’ reading and translation pen give your festive season a boost?

Whether you’re all-in on the festive season or if you can find it a little stressful, there isn’t one of us who hasn’t wished it was a little simpler sometimes. And from budgeting to buying and even flying, it comes with its fair share of complicated situations to navigate. But despite its unassuming stature, e-pens World Scanner Go is ideally placed to support you through the most wonderful time of the year.

Not bad for a translator pen you can bag on a budget.

Let’s see what it can do! ⬇️

It’s travel planning on easy mode!

The festive season sees a lot of us travelling internationally. And from heading off on a winter break to heading out to see family who live and work in other countries, it can be difficult sometimes, especially when you’re an anxious traveller: what happens if my luggage gets lost, and nobody at the airport can understand me? What if I can’t tell my taxi driver where they need to drop me off? And what if I accidentally end up in the middle of nowhere, and don’t speak the language well enough to ask anybody for directions?

What if I can't read a handy, informative guidebook at a national landmark?!

Relax. That’s why you travel with a translator pen! Wherever there’s Wi-Fi, e-pens World Scanner Go can provide you with super-fast translation, from guidebooks and print-offs to real-time human speech. So all you need to do is focus on being at the airport on time… or five hours early, if you’re anything like the rest of us.

It’s luggage-friendly!

e-pens World Scanner Go is designed for pockets, handbags, briefcases, backpacks, and hand luggage. Bulky tools aren’t helpful in an era where your suitcase gets weighed to within an inch of its life.

That’s why it’s been designed with a long-life battery for day-long scanning, and to be as compact and as convenient as possible. And all without compromising the full-colour, easy-navigation touchscreen menus.

Catching up on your reading pile has never been less stressful.

Christmas break is a great opportunity to de-stress and catch up on all those books that you bought this year and haven’t had the chance to get around to yet.

Having a reading pen on hand makes that easy, even if you’re not the most confident reader, and e-pens World Scanner Go’s reading pen function doesn’t need a Wi-Fi connection to work… which means you can curl up with a good book without having to worry for a moment about what the Wi-Fi password is. So you can read anywhere, even on the go!

And it can support you when you read with your family, too.

Sharing a bedtime story with kids and grandkids over the festive period is a traditional holiday pastime. But when you’ve got a neurodiversity that impacts your reading skills like dyslexia, or you’re just not as a confident reader, that can make sharing these moments with your loved ones a bit of a stressful experience.

Having reliable reading support on hand can really help to change the story and make story time something that you look forward to and not feel anxious about. Adding a reading support like e-pens World Scanner Go can also make these reading sessions a fun learning experience for children—it’s never too early to start brushing up on phonics, and the interactive tech element makes it fun to read along together.

We’ll say it again: more bang for your buck!

Is it just us, or does this time of year get more expensive every time it rolls around? At least there are savings to be made on tech: e-pens World Scanner Go is a translator pen and a reading pen in one, which means two devices for the price of one—and on top of that, it comes in at far cheaper than other market-leading pens, without compromising on the functionality you receive.

Very festive! 💸

It makes talking to new people easy.

Wandering around your new favourite city and need to ask for directions, or just need to check with the restaurant staff whether they take your credit card? e-pens World Scanner Go is a translator pen with a difference: it can translate direct from speech, so communicating is easy, even when you haven’t got anything written down. Just connect to the local Wi-Fi to get started!

No more ordering the wrong thing from the menu…

The festive season is a difficult time of year if you’ve got dietary requirements to adhere to: with the amount of restaurant-hopping many of us do, checking whether something has meat, caffeine, alcohol, or any of your allergens in is difficult enough in your own language, let alone in one you don’t speak with confidence.

But e-pens World Scanner Go’s translator pen functionality makes it super simple to double-check menus, chat to bar and wait staff, and make sure you’re dining out safely over the holiday period, and that nothing important about the food you eat gets lost in translation.

Homework woes are a thing of the past.

We know that parents are the first-line responders when homework gets tricky—but this can be difficult to navigate when young language-learners have parents who aren’t always confident or fluent in the language being studied. And Christmas homework tends to be more in-depth and challenging than usual, to make up for the break in instruction.

But this is where e-pens World Scanner Go comes into its own. Whether students are working from a textbook, practicing their speaking skills or reading through materials in a virtual learning environment, it’s perfectly placed to help parents get to grips with the language at hand and really be able to support children and young people, whatever they’re learning and at whatever level.

It’s the ideal gift for the globetrotter in your life!

Heading off into the world is a little nerve-racking sometimes, especially if they’re travelling solo or doing it for the first time. Sending your loved ones off on holidays, gap years or business opportunities with a real-time translator pen can make them feel far more secure and able to tackle whatever their next adventure throws at them… and it might give you a little extra peace of mind, as well. 

And come January, it’s ready to do it all again.

Not that anybody wants to think about January yet, but even after the celebrations have ended, e-pens World Scanner Go is ideally placed to support anybody travelling for business or for leisure.

By making it easier than ever to communicate in real-time with teams who speak other languages using its speedy voice translation, networking with international professionals is easier than ever wherever you find yourself working. For 2025, let’s make work happen on that human level that we can find tricky to access when there’s a language barrier in place.

To find out more about what makes this clever little reading pen and translator pen tick, you can head over to the Scanning Pens blog and discover more about how it does what it does—and why it’s the perfect solution for any reading needs or travel worries this festive season.

It’s all about empowering readers, travellers, learners, and those in work—and especially at this time of year, it’s all about keeping it simple, too.
