Wizcom ReadingPen TS Touch-Screen Text Scannner (UK English Version)
| "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. |
