Reading support that works the way dyslexic readers think.
Phonics-grounded read-aloud, exam-ready independence, and display settings that reduce visual stress. Recommended by SPED and AT specialists.
- Phonics module
- Exam-lock mode
- Offline read-aloud
Why this works
Three things that matter more than the spec sheet.
Phonics module built in
On-device phoneme-grapheme support reinforces decoding instead of replacing it.
Exam-lock mode
PIN-protected mode disables translation and dictionary so the pen is permitted in test settings.
Reduces visual stress
Adjustable display settings and line-by-line capture keep the reader anchored on the page.
Which model fits
Standalone pens work with no phone or computer. Connected pens need a device to display and speak.
