Price is always an important factor, after all there’s no point in considering any technology if it doesn’t fit your budget. I’m very impressed with the NEWYES Scan Reader Pen 3. It seems to work well, and the accuracy is very good too, I didn’t (well when I started to use it properly) find the pen make any text mistakes. I saw lots of comments from the internet experts on the TikTok video that Google does something similar, well yeah, obviously. But we all know how that performs when trying to use it, it’s usually littered with nonsense.

After all, we wouldn’t ask a child in a wheelchair to walk around, or ask a child with vision problems to just try and see more. Students with dyslexia have inbuilt, neurological language-based difficulties. That’s simply the way their brains are wired up and they need tools to help them.

Essentially, reading pens and other text to speech technologies are based on the idea that one of the main causes of reading disabilities comes from the difficulty in decoding written words, particularly in children with dyslexia. How sensitive each device is to things like being held improperly, jittering or shaking or hesitating really varies, with some devices being pretty tolerant and others less so. The major downside to all that is that you’re tethered to some kind of device (even if it’s just your phone) and the apps developed by the companies can sometimes be hit or miss when it comes to ease of use.
