Upward writing frames are now available which create the dots on the front of the piece of paper enabling you to produce Braille from left to right as you would read the code. These may be helpful if you have low vision. Some models have keypad buttons with varying shapes to facilitate identification by touch and some have large LCD displays. These features are available on corded, cordless and mobile telephones. Some of these tech-based implements even record spoken presentations and sync them with notes written on special paper. They are especially useful for students, who can record whatever the teacher says and then replay the most important parts of a presentation later. They can remove the time-consuming task of transcribing whole presentations by facilitating access to any part of a lecture with a tap. Digitized notes are easy to store, organize, search, and share. Many are mounted on an adjustable arm allowing variation of angle and position. Some incorporate a light.

If you angle the pen too much or too little it doesn’t read the text effectively. You really need to find a specific range of angle for it to work perfectly, and this takes a couple of tries.

Become a fluent and independent reader and improve literacy with the help of ReaderPen. What is ReaderPen? Text to speech pens are small, portable devices that look like regular highlighters. They use optical character recognition (OCR) technology to read aloud printed text. Don’t expect to use the pen on handwritten text. In fact, don’t expect it to work on fancy printed text or even cursive printed text. It’ll work fine for simple text (like the text you’re reading now) and common fonts like Arial, Tahoma and Calibri. Reading pens have been marketed to parents as a cool bit of assistive technology for dyslexia. Essentially a pen that reads text out loud to you, over the last few years these scanning pens have become fairly popular with parents of students with reading difficulties. About the size of a highlighter, they’re portable, relatively accurate and, to be honest, can be quite handy for both students and adults with dyslexia.

While scanning pens can work as language translators and scan text from printed media, they’re not always the best solution for digitizing documents and other materials. Text to speech readers like Speechify often have the best OCR technology and greater language processing accuracy.Some of the best reading pens include the C-Pen Reader, the ScanMarker Air, the IRISPen Air 7, the WorldPenScan X, and the Exam Reader. What is a word processing pen? After all, we wouldn’t ask a child in a wheelchair to walk around, or ask a child with vision problems to just try and see more. Students with dyslexia have inbuilt, neurological language-based difficulties. That’s simply the way their brains are wired up and they need tools to help them. The major downside to all that is that you’re tethered to some kind of device (even if it’s just your phone) and the apps developed by the companies can sometimes be hit or miss when it comes to ease of use. Aside from everything else C-Pen Reader also features a microphone (and of course speaker and headphones connector) allowing you to record audio. Like voice memos. The audio files are saved in the device, can be retrieved and listened to any time. You can also upload the audio files to your computer. It’s convenient! AI Dubbing Automatically translate and dub new or existing videos in over 100’s of languages with AI video dubbing.
