Hands down! C pen wins! My son is in college and deal with auditory processing and doesn’t comprehend a lot of text content and like dyslexia he gets text mixed around!!!!
Good to hear about your son and what works. I don’t have auditory proc and gaget hard etc. music stressing me here. 😢 It takes over my brain trying to listen to words. I think probably common for adhd
It is a shame that the exam reader and the dictionary pens are available in so many languages while the Reader pen only available in English and Spanish.
I really struggle with reading and avoid reading because of a lot of shame for how slow I read and my dyslexia. This looks like an amazing product! I've been using an app called Natural Reader and ORC to transcribe my books but it's daunting.
It is sad that it has not got it in Turkish- English language translation. I also would have expect The dictionary to define the words more in detailed like, given 2-3 synonyms words and example sentences to see how the word is used, if needed:(
my sharon I think the c-pen is brilliant . i got the chance to use a c- pen at college it made a difference in class doing maths GCSE. It was cool .went i get the chance i am going to get one. i am Dyslexia so my read and spelling is bad some time and i read it sound wrong but went the c- pen reader it all of sudden it sound right.
I got this device today It sometimes do not scan things written in a table (The borders of table = most of the time it read as 1 or L ) Secondly you have to move pen very smoothly A slight unpredictable movement will result in something different
This is a great review but the background music is so distracting. I can't block it out and listen to you at the same time so I'm leaving the video early.
Iam 76 never read a book, thank you for all the kides that are coming up. I know it Wala be affordable in the Neureuther but right now way out of my SSI. but good going 🤠 🤟 👍
Hi I was looking at your UA-cam video which is terrific. I have dyslexia also and I have looked for numerous things for years. There's been so many times I've had a fake so many things. I love this pan that you demonstrated. I looked on Amazon and I could not find it. What company makes this C-pen the one that I saw doesn't work as well as the one that you demonstrated. I definitely need text to speech to help me with my work can you give me some suggestions.
+Joan Lords Hi Joan, thanks for checking out my video. The Pen is made by a company called C-Pen. In the UK they can be purchased by a company called, Scanning Pen Shop: www.scanningpenshop.com/en/reading-aids/c-pen-reader.html/ If you are in US I know there are plans for the pens to be available on amazon but I am not sure of the time scale. You can get more up to date information here:info@cpen.com Sean
Hi Lorraine, good question. A punctuation pause setting has been added so you can increase the time after punctuation. There is also now a word pause setting so you can have longer between each word if you wish.
Does it speak the definitions to the words? I'd like one for our 8 year old daughter who has reading difficulties and I think she'd struggle to read the definitions. thanks
Yes it reads out definitions with the Collins English Dictionary. The Oxford Primary Dictionary has also recently been added - a much simpler dictionary to understand.
What version of the C-Pen is this? I found one on Amazon, but I want to make sure I am buying the most up to date version of this pen for my daughter. Thank you!

I just found out this exist. I'm going to buy 1 soon. I wish this was invented ever since I was in kindergarten in 1990. I may would've been in Harvard University!!
Why have pointless music on in the background to interfere with the demo, can't anyone do anything these days without having to have tunes playing. Sad really!
@@tarunkumar1136 yes it has. According to their website, the C-pen's internal dictionary uses the Collins English Dictionary (30th Anniversary Edition Tenth edition) or Oxford French and Spanish Dictionaries. Hope it helps.
What would be even more helpful would be for the dictionary definitions of the scanned words also to be read out. Having to read them would be hard for some readers.
Yes it reads out definitions with the Collins English Dictionary. The Oxford Primary Dictionary has also recently been added - a much simpler dictionary to understand.
If you are using iPad, you may want to try a text to speech app for iPad instead. There's plenty of choice on the market, ClaroSpeak Plus is one of the good ones. Here we have a video for this app, have a look: ua-cam.com/video/Onejkcph2x0/v-deo.html

Anyone know if newer models have Bluetooth capability? My son might use it then.

Hey... me too and I really think the c pen would be great for me
Yes, nice review, thanks so much. But I agree the background music is much too loud, and covers up you. Just your talking would be great!
I got this device today
It sometimes do not scan things written in a table
(The borders of table = most of the time it read as 1 or L )
Secondly you have to move pen very smoothly
A slight unpredictable movement will result in something different
What is the price bro
Rashid: I have the same problem with mine!🇨🇦
This is awesome! Have a 9 yr old; diagnosed with dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia
This is a great review but the background music is so distracting. I can't block it out and listen to you at the same time so I'm leaving the video early.
It doesn’t bother me 😂

Thank you for a great review. This really helped demonstrate the functions I was most curious about and will be a huge help in making a decision.
Using the inbuilt select to speech through the Android camera works better.
does this only read texted or handwriting aswell?
Is it possible to buy in french with french English translation?
How many languages available??
it's English only at the moment.
& Spanish. The ExamReader Pen is Eng, Spa, Ger, Fre and Ita
Does it have a setting for punctuation? It appears to skim over full stops.
Hi Lorraine, good question. A punctuation pause setting has been added so you can increase the time after punctuation. There is also now a word pause setting so you can have longer between each word if you wish.
Does the c pen spell word for you 🤔 like when I'm filling out letters and I need a word spell Instantly .
Can I use this with my iphone?
Does it speak the definitions to the words? I'd like one for our 8 year old daughter who has reading difficulties and I think she'd struggle to read the definitions. thanks
Yes it reads out definitions with the Collins English Dictionary. The Oxford Primary Dictionary has also recently been added - a much simpler dictionary to understand.
I am just wondering if this is this the leading pen that you would recommend 6 years later or are their other options out their?
Very good question which is I would like to know myself
Will c=pen reader read out Russian and Chines words? As in words that are in a different language as in foreign names?
