Scans, displays, reads aloud and defines words. The new UK version of the popular Reading Pen.

Designed specifically for people with dyslexia who require support with reading, the Reading Pen is an ideal tool to help with reading words that the user can't spell, pronounce or comprehend. The Reading Pen promotes independent and inclusive learning as it reduces the need for additional support; in other words students and adults can continue reading and studying without asking for help from colleagues or teachers.

Faster, more accurate and easier to use than previous models, the new Oxford Reading Pen is a great portable reading aid for dyslexic students and adults. With the Oxford Concise Dictionary this Reading Pen now provides British definitions, pronunciations and spellings. Improved menus now also make it easier to navigate and set up your pen.

The Reading Pen has been used successfully in schools, colleges, libraries and resource centres but it is not suitable for people with low vision or impaired fine motor control. Although we recommend that the pen is suitable for 11+ because of the dexterity requirements, it has been used successfully at a younger age with support during initial use.
