Ideal for students with dyslexia.

Great product for students with dyslexia who need to take a test. It takes some practice to align properly, but all features are great.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • No Instructions

Not quite suitable for children

This pen has good intentions but is not comfortable for a child to read independently. The main reason I was willing to pay that kind of money for it was to help my child with the words he was stuck on to help with independent reading. However, this pen must be used correctly. Slowly and straight down the middle of the pen to get the words right. As a result, it didn't serve the purpose we needed it for. I returned it as it was too much money to keep and hope for better results.

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • Vulgarity

Not easy to use for people with disabilities

Well done. My husband has a massive stroke and can no longer read. So that he can read again. It's not easy to deal with. I had to work with him myself to help him. Text to speech conversion is not as smooth as it should be. Reading line after line is difficult for someone who has to listen slowly in order to understand. Completely unimpressed with this product. We'll try to master it for a few more days, but it looks like we're going to send it back.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Great tool for a child with special needs just needs a tech upgrade

My son is 13 and can't read. He's on the spectrum and understands at a 4th grade level. This pen is a great tool for him. It's a little tricky to get it working properly and it would be better if it had more human voice and could stop at commas, periods, question marks etc. But our biggest problem lately comes up every time we turn his off. It begins in another language, both reading and texting. He's only a few months old and it's so frustrating. Can someone fix this? We dropped it etc.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Almost never

A couple of my dyslexic high school students used this pen and found it very useful. It takes a little practice to get better at scanning and sometimes it misreads a word, but most of the time it works fine. You can set it to scan with your right hand (left to right) or left hand (right to left) and adjust the speed. It scans English and Spanish. If there is no way for a student to get an electronic version of a document where they can highlight text and then "read" it using text-to-speechโ€ฆ

Pros
  • . Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

High school student becomes independent

According to my dyslexic daughter, "The C-Pen exam reader is awesome!" She doesn't use her dominant hand when using the C-Pen, which allows her to slow down and follow the suggestion, thereby limiting the number of errors. If it's fast and doesn't follow the exact line, then the C-pen is difficult to read. The controls are very easy to use, switching between left and right accents or American and British accents. With the exam reader, she uses it for exams, homework, classwork and SAT prepโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Awesome for me
Cons
  • Available in white only

Great looks, light weight

Received yesterday, will update later. Excellent appearance, light weight and easy to use. A teenager with dyslexia is impressed by his scanning practice. We love that you can change the voice between American and British; allows for a more personal experience. Seems to have gotten most of the text; The handwriting didn't suit her, but that's not why we bought it. Hope this helps with worksheets, notes and reports. It's probably not very pleasant to read a book, especially since there are soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Font size is critical to accuracy.

My 10 year old has a visual impairment/neuropathy that affects reading. The C-Pen exam is a simple, well-designed tool to use in class rather than constant oral instruction from someone else. The voice is much more natural than expected compared to other audio devices we've used. The ability to repeat a sentence instead of rescanning it also proved extremely helpful to her. Of course, her classmates thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Luckily she doesn't feel ridiculed by it. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Disadvantages
