"This is perhaps how all dictionaries will be ... Research shows it speeds learning because a student can experience many more words, and hear the phonic pattern, so reinforcing the learning, in the time that it would take to look up one word in a dictionary, or decode it with a teacher one to one"   British Dyslexia Association

FAQs
Is it hard to use? If you have good dexterity, it's easy to use. Here's a simple test. If you can highlight a line of text in a newspaper using a highlighter pen, you will be able to use the pen. If not, this pen will not be suitable for you. Does it really read to you? After you complete scanning a line or word, the pen recognizes the characters and looks up the words in its internal dictionary. It then can pronounce them in sequence. How accurate is it? Generally 97% accurate - scanning accuracy generally increases with practice. Can I only scan text in? No, you can also input words using the pen's own touchscreen keyboard, so you can also hear pronunciations & definitions of words you see that are not on a printed page.
