Review: Great gadget for Dyslexics!!! - I brought the C-Pen Reader for my dyslexic son to use during his first year at secondary school. He was a little unsure at first weather or not to take it into a classroom environment where he'd be using it surrounded by his peers. However, once he'd worked out how easy the controls are to use and how discreet it is, it's now a permanent and essential piece of equipment in his school bag. As the other reviewers have stated, it will read single words along with full sentences and if forgotten, it'll hold previous scanned words in its memory. It comes with a protective case and headphones, although if he wishes not to use them, he can adjust the sound of the 'female voice/reader' so not to interfere with lessons. It is very comfortable to hold and the colour allows it to camouflage itself amongst other essentials and it will fit neatly into a pencil case. I've also looked on-line and seen that he could download other languages to its memory (although please check with the website first as how easy this is I don't know as his is still in English). The only downsize for me was the price when I was considering buying it but now after taking the plunge and seeing how it's helped him transition from primary school, it's well worth every penny I paid. The purchase has given him piece of mind and he now has his C-Pen to rely upon instead of the awkward embarrassment or time consuming technic of stopping to ask friends or teachers what the text in books or work sheets say.
Review: Fabulous lifesaving invention!! - My son suffers with irlens and severe single word dyslexia, we wanted to wait until he started secondary school to decide about a c pen v irlens glasses. we decided to go down the c pen route best choice EVER !!! What a difference, he can access the dictionary which also comes with spanish, we have been told dyslexics find spanish an easier language to assimilate (not sure how true that is)he loves it it has allowed him to be a independent learner, keep up with the class which had increased his confidence all in the space of a week!! Why did we not invest in this earlier!!! Crazy!!! His secondary school so far have been supportive in him using his pen. It has a left and right handed function. The only down side is it doesn't read teeny tiny print but to be honest he will rarely come across that in school so that is not a issue for him. I WOULD definately recommend.

*by A***R on 10 March 2022*

Love this product, was brought for my uncle who finds it hard to read, it does exactly as described (reads out printed texted once scanned with the pen). Only issue is the sound is quite low, however earphones were also supplied so shouldn't be a problem.
