Scanning Pens are passionate about helping every child become a confident, independent learner. Their mission is simple: to make reading and learning more accessible for all pupils, particularly those with dyslexia, reading difficulties, EAL needs, and other additional learning requirements.

Trusted by thousands of schools across the UK, their award-winning assistive technology is designed to support learners both in the classroom and during assessments. Their portable, easy-to-use reading pens help pupils access printed text independently, reducing barriers to learning and boosting confidence.

The C-Pen Reader 2 is widely used in primary schools and features an Exam Lock mode, allowing the device to be used in line with access arrangements during KS2 SATs. This gives eligible pupils the support they need to access written materials while maintaining exam compliance.

The C-Pen Reader 3 is their next generation of powerful support tools. Alongside industry-leading text-to-speech scanning, it now includes speech-to-text functionality, enabling pupils to dictate their ideas and see them converted into text. The Reader 3 also provides comprehensive multilingual support, helping EAL learners access curriculum in over 40 different languages more confidently and independently.

Whether supporting early literacy development, enabling access to curriculum content, or helping pupils build greater independence, their technology empowers children to participate more fully in their learning journey.
