C-Pen Exam Reader 2 | Text-to-speech Reading Support for Exams

Product Information

It’s really only designed for clear, easy-to-read sans serif fonts that you’d find in a textbooks or printed article. I even find that sometimes it gets confused by quotation marks. The C-Pen comes default in a British accent. This can be a little frustrating for some people, especially younger children who struggle a little more cognitively with different accents. Dyslexia can have a substantial and long term adverse effect on normal day to day activities, and therefore can be a recognised disability under the Equality Act 2010. The Act states that schools and higher education institutions have a duty to make 'reasonable adjustments' for disabled students (including students with learning difficulties, such as dyslexia).

The C Pen works by scanning written text, processing it, and turning it into words. There is a built-in scanner that reads text as you roll the pen over it. The C-Pen Exam Reader 2™ isn’t just a great investment in a student’s future, it’s also a valuable cost-saving tool for schools. The device nurtures reading independence, putting complete control in the learner's hands. By switching from human readers to digital readers, schools can save money every month that can be used elsewhere. The voice isn’t perfect, as I outline below. It sounds a little like Stephen Hawking. But for my college students, that wasn’t a concern for them at all. There is a learning curve, and it struggles with some types of text (see later in this review), so I’m not saying it’s perfect. But I do think it works well for most school-related printed texts. The C-Pen Exam Reader 2 isn’t just a great investment in a student’s future, it’s also a valuable cost-saving tool for schools. This device nurtures reading independence, putting complete control in the learner's hands. Schools that make the switch from human readers to digital readers see a reduction in monthly outgoing costs, leaving them with more resources. Other essential benefits

TEXT TO SPEECH: Scan complete sentences or single words of printed text and listen to it being read automatically via AI-based text recognition in different accents! No wifi required. The text you scan can be saved then uploaded to a computer via USB. I’ve actually had a few students simply scan the important phrases or paragraphs they need while studying, then upload them as study notes. I thought that was a cool and innovative use of the pen. Frequently Asked Questions Who should use a C Pen Reader?

We took everything great from the ExamReader and made major enhancements to the C-Pen Exam Reader 2. Scanning speeds are even faster now with AI-supported text-to-speech. The C-Pen Exam Reader 2 also supports 10+ languages and features an audio-aided user interface to improve accessibility for all. Portable Cost-Effective Exam Support This combination of angle, speed and accuracy makes me worry that younger children won’t have the dexterity for this product. Before buying it, I’d recommend asking your child to draw a straight line through a line of text. Test if they can keep it relatively steady before making this investment. This is set by Hotjar to identify a new user’s first session. It stores a true/false value, indicating whether this was the first time Hotjar saw this user. It is used by Recording filters to identify new user sessions.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. I assume that it is quiet because it’s designed not to disturb the people around you. Which makes sense in classroom and exam situations. Dyslexic students have the frustration of watching their peers read through the content with ease – and breeze ahead to the top of the class. The pen isn’t very forgiving if you waver from the line of the text. You really need to scan a nice clean straight line across the text.
