It has an option for left and right-handed users. Scanning can be done from left to right but also from right to left. It doesn't make any difference; the pen reads and displays the sentence in the correct order.

If you are left-handed you may prefer scanning from left to right.

You should be able to see clearly the line you want to scan even though you cannot see well enough to recognize and read the words. It would not be useful if you could not see well enough to follow and scan in a straight line the printed text.
In a classroom setting, the Reading Pen is an excellent learning device that can help children deal with problems associated with reading difficulties and disabilities. Many children do not understand a word as they are reading it but when they hear it pronounced, 99% of the time they do recognize the word. It is fun to use and children love using it since they embrace technology. It is much more fun than needing to grab a dictionary and search for a definition. Very young children have difficulties searching in a dictionary anyway; they don't have that problem using the reading pen. It helps them read a book alone, listen to the words, listen to their definition, the pen can also spell a selected word and split that word in syllabus if desired. Users can see and hear at the same time what the screen displays. It is like having a personal teacher helping all along. Children are very exited to play with this electronic tool and they benefit a great deal from it. It gives them a big head start and a positive attitude towards reading and learning. It gives the opportunity to all children even to those who will never develop the ability to read independently, to become a lifelong reader and learner. A positive attitude and a lot of fun are keys.
Teachers love it! The reading pen has a great option loved by all teachers for exams. The teacher can lock the access to the dictionary and password it. Only the teacher will know the password so the student will not be able to access it. The student will still be able to scan the words, hear the scanned words read out loud and view the words in large font display in the screen. No definition will appear. To lock the dictionary of the Reading Pen: go to menu, selecting lock dict. Click "Access" select a 4-digit password and enter it. Don't forget to write it down since you will need it to unlock the dictionary.
he reading pen cannot recognize handwritten text; it only works with printed text. Some of my customers ask me if the reading pen scan can through a screen like a computer screen, a tablet or a palm pilot screen for example. The answer is no; it can't. You have to print the text first to be able to scan it. If you have extremely impaired vision it would not work for you since you have to be able to see well enough to follow a line of text. The Reading pen is not recommended for people with impaired fine motor control. The Reading Pen pronounces the English only, not the Spanish. It translates from English to Spanish but not from Spanish to English.
