Accessibility, literacy and learning
Become a fluent and independent reader and improve literacy with the help of C-Pen Reader 2.
Accessibility
With C-Pen Reader 2 you are an independent reader, able to read any printed text on your own. Depending on your need, scan full paragraphs or single words and listen to the text being read out automatically.
Literacy
Definitions of words are just a few clicks away. If you get stuck on a word, listen to it being read out, and access the explanation of the word - read out aloud to you - with just a few click.
Practice and learn
It is well proven that multi-sensory learning is far more efficient than single-sensory learning. Listen to word or paragraphs being read out to you while at the same time visually following along on the screen or in the textbook - and learn faster.
A well proven memorization technique is spaced repetition. The on-pen Practice function let you practice words you have found especially difficult lately. Spend a few minutes at the end of the day and practice pronunciation and understanding. C-Pen Reader 2 automatically spaces your repetition by allowing you to practice , .
AI based character recognition: C-Pen Reader 2 features an AI based character recognition - supporting more fonts and is less dependent on print quality.
Audio Boost: The Audio Boost feature provides a slightly higher volume which may come handy in noisy environments.
Practice with words: C-Pen Reader 2 keeps track of words scanned and read out aloud and words looked up in dictionaries. Based on "your own" words, C-Pen Reader 2 provides instant words games allowing you to practice pronunciations and definitions.
Easier to access definitions: Words often have multiple definitions. C-Pen Reader 2 processes the dictionary definitions and display these definitions one by one, making it easier to access each definition. Long-press UP/DOWN to step between definitions and press OK to listen to them one by one.
