Jane Cooper – President of International Dyslexia Association- Oregon Branch “It was a wonderful way for us to introduce students to something that was different and something that they could pull out when they did not have their computers with them” “We know that Scanning Pens are going to be in Portland and supporting IDA at the conference this year, it makes such a difference to know that companies like ScanningPens are supporting change, making reading an accessible thing for everyone”
Debra Fitzgibbons- Oregon Tech Access Program Coordinator “The idea was awesome, being able to have something portable that you can carry with you and it can read whenever you couldn’t”
Sandy Nemer – Teacher “The children are able to take a lot of the textbook material and bridge it directly to their google docs, it empowers them to do the work they really want to”
Wendy- Parent “You’re a child with dyslexia, you're just as engaged and interested in learning as the other kids, but with dyslexia sometimes it can trap it a little bit. The ReaderPen just allowed him to get through those texts without struggling and be a part of the class discussions.”
Student “It’s super easy to use, you just pick it up and scan. There were just books that the language was just too hard for me, I have been able to look up words easily that I don’t know how to spell or that I don’t know what they mean. It’s different than an audio book because you have to follow along and scan the book, it kind of at least makes me zone out. The ReaderPen allows me to stay focused on what the book is saying”
Student “I can read most of the words, but I come across a word that I don’t know what it means, but at the same time I might. The ReadPen helps me figure out the word quickly”
Bridget- Student “I really like how the pen is small and it’s easy to carry around. I like the scan feature on it, how you can plug it into your laptop”
