Reading Printed Documents
Printed documents are part of everyday life — forms, contracts, instructions, letters, manuals, workplace paperwork all require careful reading.
When Reading Assistance Can Help
A reading tool can be useful when you need to identify an unfamiliar word, listen to a sentence, process dense text, translate a word, or read information away from a computer.
Scan Only What You Need
One advantage of a reading pen is its ability to focus on a selected part of a document. Instead of digitizing an entire page, you can scan a specific word or line and continue reading.
