Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing, or other special needs!
I wrote about the original C-Pen Reader several years ago. Now there is a new and improved version: C-Pen Reader 2! C-Pen Reader 2 is the next generation of assistive reading tools designed to put even more control into the user’s hands.
Whether you’re reading for pleasure or studying, this reading pen features “enhanced artificial intelligence to improve accessibility, and boost reading confidence.” It features a long-lasting battery and an easy-to-use interface to give users much-needed independence. It allows users to scan a word, paragraph, or even a full page, then save it to a file that can be transferred to their computer.
Other features include:
- Improved speed and performance
- New AI text recognition
- Bigger and better interface
- Enhanced voice recorder
- Audio boost function
- Fast speak option
- Multiple accents available
- Built-in microphone allows you to easily record audio, such as voice memos, meetings, or lectures
- Features a standard micro-USB connector for charging and connecting to computers, as well as a standard 3.5mm connector for headphones
- And more
