What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026
The C-Pen Exam2 is a pocket-sized pen reader. You slide it along a line of printed text, and it reads the words aloud in a natural-sounding digital voice. English voices come in several accents, including Irish, Scottish, Indian, Australian, Latin and American Spanish, so a student can pick one that feels familiar. It works for left- or right-handed use, and it can start reading as soon as you lift it after a scan or wait until you tell it to. If you can run a highlighter over a line of text, you can scan with this pen. It suits students and adults who struggle to read print on their own, and it is approved for use in UK exams. It reads printed text only, so it won't help with on-screen content.
