Scanmarker Pal - Translation Pen & Reading Pen for Language Learners, Dyslexia & Learning Difficulties | Translator Pen for 100+ Languages

This Scanmarker Pal Translation Pen is very accurate and super handy. I got it for my 14 yrs old niece who suffers from Dyslexia. Ever since I got this little pal for her I’ve notice some great progress with her independent reading ability and pronouncing words. I am so impressed with how the device functions, it is easy to use, and accuracy on point. I use the device from time to time to translate and learn different languages. One of my favorite features is being able control the speed and how I am able to slow down how fast it reads the text - giving me quite some time to processes it fully. It is durable, convenient, battery life is great, scanning capability is awesome and compass. Such great value for the price. Highly recommended!!!

This pen helped my daughter so much! She has been in a resource classroom for ELA (English language art) since 2nd grade. She worked really hard to read but still has some difficulty. She just started high school and her IEP was rewritten to a extreme after a sever head injury. I pushed for her new school to retest her because I knew she was doing better and the resources class setting at her high school didn’t seem fully appropriate for her. She strategizes as well, uses her own supports and her reading skills have improved but they were still not up to grade level, she is dyslexic. They tested her with and without assistive technology. She used the pen in her testing and did far better with it’s use then without. We were able to revise her IEP and she is being moved into the inclusion classroom with technology supports and had the pens use written in to her IEP as well. She was moved back in to AP geography too. This is a huge win for my daughter. I’m so greatful that the pen worked well for her. The pen might not scan the text perfectly every time, but it does what it is intended to do. The blue tooth is nice because she can use it with her wireless ear buds discreetly and still hear what is going on in class, with just one ear buds in. It seems to hold a charge for a long time. I think it’s a great tool for people who have reading difficulties. I wish I would have gotten it for her sooner. She says it helps a lot and makes it easier to keep up and fully understand text when she needs to read. It might be a bit expensive but I think it’s definitely worth a shot of any child struggling with learning differences when it comes to to reading.

I think it is a very cool item. It’s pretty easy to use. It is a sturdy pen And I was able to use it with ease and functions fine. It was pretty accurate. I did have to go over the words a couple of times sometimes for it to register. it does translate from all different languages, but I got it more for the reading. I think it’s a good price point for what it does

My granddaughter is Dyslexic and struggles with reading, especially at testing. This tool has allowed her to test without struggling. When she has a word(s) she cannot figure out, she used the pen to read the word for her. With the earphones that comes with the pen, she bothers no one around her. It’s been very helpful.

Was very hopeful that this would help the kids in class. It was easy tonight use but the quality was poor in both the ability to read the text and the accuracy in translating it into speech.

I'm a special ed teacher at the elementary level. I have typically used a CPen, but saw this one which seemed really similar and was much less expensive. So, I ordered it and different one to try with my students. Its great! It is as easy to use as the CPen and has similar functions. The size is manageable to hold (a little bigger than a fat marker) and I love that it comes with a guide to help my less that nimble students stay in line over the text. It can be set for left or right handed (I'm a lefty) and it's not too awkward as a lefty. You can set the voice speed which is great for the slower processing students. It takes some practice to be accurate in the scanning of text, but when you are, the output is spot on. There are options to store scanned text, wirelessly save to a computer, and voice record (I supposed for oral translation support, but great for someone to take a voice note once they have read the text). The price was great and definitely something affordable for home use.

Didn't need the Language Learner feature. Just wanted a Reading Pen. Does too many things.

Easy to use for 12yr old with dyslexia. She likes it and expect it to encourage reading, improve reading skills, understanding, and communication skills. Positive so far🤸‍♂️😊

Bien pour dialoguer avec un étranger

Molto utile per lo studio

I have been using this Scanmarker for the past 4 months. In general I have been most impressed with its performance. I use it to read mainly German texts and have it translate and then recite in English. The translations are generally adequate, not perfect but very understandable. I am impressed by its capacity to read and decode various print characters. The physical form of the Scanmarker is, at first, not very easy to hold in the correct position but I got used to it. I expected to have trouble in keeping it aligned over the text, but that is not the case. I have had no difficulty tracing the printed line. The plastic guide, for example, is not needed. I generally read several lines at a time. Moving from one line to the next is not a problem. While using it linked to Bluetooth headphones and Wifi, the battery seems to last about 2 and half hours of continuous use. Recharging is easy. I am not an addict of small mobile electronic gadgets, but I do like this Scanmarker. My criticisms would be easy to rectify. The documentation provided in the box is excessively simplified. The suppliers probably believe that the Scanmarker itself will do the job automatically, but it would have been very helpful for me at the start to have more detailed instructions. Information on the internet site is better and more helpful. However, for a machine that is supposed to translate with precision, linguistic errors in both the printed and internet texts do not give a good impression. Nevertheless, overall I would recommend it for reading, translating and speaking short texts.

Bought for my son, he liked it and it helps him in school

Je recommande ce traducteur à 100%, il est simple d’utilisation, facile à magner et il traduit à voix haute la ligne scannée. De cette manière je peux lire des livres non traduits, c’est fluide … j’en suis très contente, car enfin je peux lire des suites non traduites par manque d’audience ……. Vous pouvez l’acheter les yeux fermés et pas besoin de mettre plus cher.
