Exam-Reader is an electronic pen of the CPen brand that is aimed at all those who have great difficulty reading a written text. This applies primarily to dyslexic students, but also to people who are slightly visually impaired, for example.
Exam-Reader looks like a real magic pen. Just highlight the text you want to understand, and the pen will read it to you aloud. I had the opportunity to test the Exam-Reader for a few days, it was amazing.
Exam-Reader is a large pen with a small built-in screen. The text is highlighted and immediately the text appears on the screen. It is recognised by the device and read aloud by speech synthesis. It takes a few minutes to get used to, but you get used to it very quickly. We put the pen down at the beginning of the line. A small light comes on. The sentence is highlighted and immediately read aloud. Ultra practical.
The text is understood as a small built-in speaker, but if you do not want to disturb the neighbours, you can connect a small headset provided.
The optical character recognition built into the pen works very well regardless of the document and I had a hard time failing it. It works with the French mas also in English, German, Spanish and Italian. The pen also comes with a small pouch to store it. It is light and adapts to small hands. It can be set to be used with the right hand or the left hand.
An object which may be ofa real help for students strongly embarrassed in reading. It will allow them to understand instructions or written questions, whether in class or at home.
Exam-Reader is a beautiful speaker. A tool to promote the autonomy of dyslexic students among others. Exam-Reaer which is marketed in France by MySoft is announced with an autonomy of 6 hours and a recharging time divided by two. I personally did not have time to check it during my test. The pen comes with a headset, a pouch to store it and a USB cable for charging.
It is sold for EUR 348, which is not given, but quality is at the rendezvous.

C is extraordinary thank you infinitely
I am very interested
Great idea, I am aesh and it would be very useful to my students
Great as a tool for dys. One problem though: the price!! not within the reach of all families who have dyslexic and/or dyspraxic children. In so far as computers are partly taken care of when the child is recognised as ‘disabled’, can that device also be taken care of? This would help not only students but also teachers who are often poorly trained in this problem, not to mention parents who are very poor in the face of this problem. Thank you for your reply.
hello nicole
Yes the price and expensive but you can do it grant by MDPH which was the case for my 14 year old multi dys tdah daughter .
Hello
Does he recognize all the fonts? Does it transmit the playback to the headphones in real time or with a delay time line by line? Is it suitable for a dyslexic high school girl thank you
Hello,
The Cpen recognises classic office fonts (Time, Arial, etc.) of sizes 6.5 to 22 points, with the exception of mathematical symbols or signs. It does not recognise special fonts such as those imitating cursive writing. The reading is triggered, either each time the pen is lifted or on demand. The ReaderPen was designed for dyslexic and adult youth, starting in middle school.
