Product Information

The Readingpen Advanced Edition is a fully portable, self-contained assistive reading device that is designed especially for people who have reading difficulties, learning disabilities or dyslexia. This portable reading tool provides immediate word support and helps students read and understand independently.

The Readingpen Advanced contains over 600,000 words from the American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language 4th Edition and Roget's II & Thesaurus. Individual words are enlarged on the Readingpen display, and words may be spelled out, or broken into syllables.

This assistive reading device is a completely portable reading tool that does not require a computer. It also helps users with learning disabilities by providing a definition of the scanned word or line of text. It reads both the words and definition aloud using its miniaturized text-to-speechtechnology.

Please note that Readingpen is for reading assistance only. It is best for users who occasionally need a word or sentence spoken aloud and defined. For users who need entire pages or books read aloud, please see our Reading Machines section.
