The new Readingpen 2 is an assistive reading device that is designed for people who have reading difficulties, learning disabilities or dyslexia. It provides immediate word support and helps students read and understand independently. This latest revision now contains both the Basic Edition and Advanced Edition in one pen allowing you to switch from one to the other as you choose.
The Readingpen® 2 provides instant definitions and translations, allowing readers to maintain their reading flow, even when encountering unfamiliar words. With the new Readingpen® 2, both the basic edition and advanced edition can be used just by the flip of a switch.
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.
