What is Dyslexia, And What Is A Dyslexia Scanner Pen?

Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty. People with dyslexia have trouble reading at a good pace. They may also have a hard time with reading comprehension, spelling, and writing. Children with dyslexia do not outgrow it. After much research, there are now ways for people who don’t have dyslexia to understand what someone with dyslexia goes through, such as with this simulation.

 

Teaching approaches and strategies that can help people with dyslexia improve their reading skills and manage their challenges abound. At first, solutions for dyslexia were not technology-based. Early solutions included using items to help the student see only one word at a time on the page, or highlighters to make certain words within the text stand out. While a step in the right direction, there was still a lot more that could be done to help people with dyslexia read with ease.

 

As technology advanced, the dyslexia scanner pen was born. The reason for calling this solution a “pen” is because it is held by students in their hands the same way they would a writing pen, and it is shaped like a pen. Students would take the reader pen and drag it across a page where the text is displayed. The pen would scan every word and speak out the words to the students audibly, so they can learn from what was written on the page.

Why OrCam Learn Is a Total Game-Changer

Until recently, the only way to use a dyslexia scanner pen was to drag it across the page line by line, word by word. This solution is slow and cumbersome, allowing for missed words and making it hard for students to keep up with the rest of the class.

 

But now, with OrCam’s latest device, the OrCam Learn captures full pages and screens at once with the click of a button.  Reading newspapers, books, menus, street signs, product labels, and screens instantaneously.

Not Just for Students
