C-Pens are handy, portable devices designed to make reading and learning more accessible for people of all ages. They look like a highlighter or pen, but instead of marking text, they scan it. By running the C-Pen over a line of printed text, it can instantly read the words out loud or display them on a screen. C-Pens are particularly helpful for individuals with dyslexia, vision impairments or other reading challenges. They can assist with reading comprehension by defining words, translating text into different languages and even saving notes for later. Many C-Pens are lightweight, easy to use and often come with feature such as built-in dictionaries and USB connectivity for transferring data to a computer. 

Place a hold on a left-handed C-Pen or a right-handed C-Pen in the catalogue.
