The C-PEN ReaderPen
This is a portable, pocket-sized reading pen that reads text out loud with a human-like digital voice.
A ReaderPen is designed to promote independent learning.
​
It reads text out aloud and has available dictionaries.
​
A reading pen is an ideal assistive technology for a student that just needs help with a few difficult words. This will allow the student to independently read at a higher level without the need to ask for help with words.

These applications are frequently used by people with visual impairments. A more complete listing can be found using the Mobile Apps Magic Mirror
