Frequently Asked Questions Who should use a C Pen Reader? Simply tun the pen on and slowly, smoothly and steadily run it across a line or paragraph of text. You can set it to read the text out loud to you so you can understand what is written without actually having to read it yourself. This ‘translation’ from written to spoken English can help people with reading difficulties understand texts and facilitate their learning. Final Thoughts Roll the pen over a single word and a dictionary definition will appear on the display. It can also read the definition out loud to you. It uses the Collins Dictionary to find the definitions (but that’s all built-in, no need for Wifi!)
