About this deal

But does that low price tag translate into good value? We decided to find out by reviewing it and investigating what past users had to say about the device.

Students younger than that may not have the dexterity yet or might just get too frustrated and give up. How do I know if my student is ready for this scanning pen? Scanmarker Air doesn’t need much to run properly, essentially just needing the ability to support bluetooth. Doing so is really easy. You simply tap the relevant button in the app, which is quite easy to find in the device settings. Speed While the voice reading was somewhat old school and not as natural as other options, the device’s voice was clear and read out the text pretty well.If they can do those things, they should be able to use a Scanmaker Air without much issue. Conclusion Hit the little blank spot before a word begins and then scan a text from side to side without jittering too much I know that some other devices offer the option to take a picture of the math formula, but this is not supported with this pen scanner. As for the battery life, the Youdao Dictionary Pen 3 pen scanner will work or about 5 hours if you use it continuously – the charging port is USB-C which is excellent. 4. IRISPen Air 7 Unfortunately, the Scanmarker air is not a stand alone device in that It does require a computer or mobile device and app to use.

UPDATE 01.08.2023: The Youdao Dictionary Pen 3 has been added to the best pen scanners and digital highlighters list 1. ScanMarker Air One thing to note that took some past users by surprise is that your device activation requires an internet connection, as does any time you pair it to a new device. At a minimum, for desktops and laptop computers, it needs a system running Windows 7 (or higher) and Mac OSX 10 (or higher), so it will run on many older systems. One thing that you should be aware of is that, unlike some other reader pens, the Scanmarker Air is not really a stand alone device. It doesn’t have its own built in screen or storage capability. Essentially it’s a tiny scanner, so It works alongside a computer or your mobile device through its app. So you’ll have to have one of those with you while you use it, unlike the rival C-Pen for example. The Scanmarker Air will read font sizes between 6 and 24 point. This is a pretty wide range of fonts and fairly useful since almost all adult (that usually use size 8-12 fonts) and children’s books (that typically use size 14-16 fonts) will fit inside the scanning area.The Scanmarker Air is a scanning pen made by Topscan Ltd. It attaches to a computer (either Windows or Mac) or connects to your mobile device (iOS/Android) and then, once set up with its app, can scan text and read it out loud to help dyslexic students and those with other reading difficulties. Portable, lightweight and easy to use. The USB-connected version of Scanmarker Air for those who only require scanning to computer. One issue we had, that relates to the Scanmarker Air not being a stand alone device, is that you’ll need an internet connection to use some features. For example, you’ll need to be connected to the net anytime you connect for the first time to a device, to activate the Scanmarker, and even for its translation ability. AUTO TRANSLATION: instantly scan and translate words or lines of text in over 40 different languages, including English, Austrian, Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Spanish French, German and more Furthermore, the optical resolution is 350 DPI, the character size ranges between 6 and 24pt, and the field of view is 0.4 inches (make sure the text you intend to scan is in the centre of the tip before you start the scanning process). Some shortcomings that I could point out are the fact that the ScanMarker Air will have a harder time scanning larger fonts (such as titles with a bigger font style), it skips apostrophes and hyphens (leaves a blank space) and there isn’t a way to delete the freshly scanned words directly from the pen (you have to go into the app and manually remove them). Fortunately, the ScanMarker Air will scan mathematical formulas and handwritten text and add them as an image.

To get to use the IRISPen Air 7, you first need to remove the cap (unfortunately, it cannot be attached to the top side, as you would with a regular highlighter) to reveal the tip of the device which consists of a rectangular piece of plastic with two protruded extremities and, next to it, there’s a cavity where you can find a built-in laser. To scan a piece of text, you need to hold the tip of the device upright on top of the text, not at an angle (the device can only scan one line at a time – make sure that the text line is approximately between the two scanner sharp ends). Furthermore, make sure you scan the text in a fluid manner and not too slowly or too fast.Memorize and gain a clearer understanding of the scanned material using the read aloud feature – hear the text out loud whilst scanning. This also turns Scanmarker into an effective assistive device used for dyslexia and other disabilities, helping every student achieve academic success. ULTRA-FAST SCANNING: the Scanmarker Air enters text 30 times faster than typing, saving you valuable note taking time If you have or are a parent of a student who has reading difficulties, such as dyslexia, chances are you might be looking for ways to help make reading easier. These days, there are a few companies that make reading pens for people with dyslexia and other reading difficulties, scanners that fit into highlighter-sized devices and that can read scanned text out loud.
