RocketPen Reader - A Superpower Reading Tutor

$399.99

The RocketPen Reader is a handheld scanning pen that reads printed or on-screen words aloud when you slide it across them. It can read single words or several lines in a natural voice, and it works on paper as well as phone, tablet, and computer screens. For reading practice, it breaks words into syllables, spells them out, and shows the selected word in large type. Built-in Oxford dictionaries and thesauruses cover the lookups. It scans English and French only, though it also holds an English-to-Spanish dictionary. It is meant for people who struggle with reading, such as those with dyslexia, and for language learners. It works on its own with no computer or Wi-Fi, and plugging in earbuds mutes the speaker so a student can use it quietly in class.
