A steady scanning base for IPEVO V4K and DO-CAM visualisers

The IPEVO Scanner Pad is a magnetic scanning base designed for the IPEVO V4K and DO-CAM series of document cameras. It gives teachers and SENCOs a consistent, flat surface for capturing worksheets, reading books and handwritten work, so the image on the board or screen is clear and correctly aligned. Clear, steady images matter for dyslexic learners, who can find shifting, skewed or poorly lit text harder to track.

How it helps in the classroom

IPEVO states that the Scanner Pad securely handles A3-sized scans and helps with aligning scanning lines. Its stated maximum scanning area is 432 x 279 mm, so a full worksheet or an open textbook can be captured in a single shot. When it is not in use, it folds down to 336 x 146 x 20 mm and weighs 885 g, so it can be stored in a drawer or moved between classrooms.

• Gives every scan the same position and framing, which saves time when capturing a series of pages for a lesson or intervention group.
• Helps produce flatter, straighter images that are easier to enlarge for pupils who benefit from bigger, clearer text.
• Works with visualisers many schools already use, extending the value of existing IPEVO V4K and DO-CAM equipment.
• Suits whole-class teaching, small-group interventions and one-to-one support across primary and secondary settings.

Supporting dyslexic learners

Many dyslexic pupils experience reading fatigue and lose their place when text is small, cluttered or moves on screen. A visualiser lets a teacher enlarge a page and point to each line as the class reads. The Scanner Pad keeps that page still and aligned, so the projected text stays stable and easier to follow. Captured pages can also be saved and shared, giving pupils a clear copy of the material to revisit at their own pace.

Why visualisers support inclusive teaching

Visualisers are widely used to model work live, enlarge print and share pupils' work with the class. These techniques sit comfortably within Quality First Teaching and the graduated approach in the SEND Code of Practice, and they reflect the dyslexia-friendly principles promoted by the British Dyslexia Association, such as presenting text clearly and at a comfortable size.

An easy addition to your visualiser setup

If your school already uses IPEVO V4K or DO-CAM visualisers, the Scanner Pad is a simple way to get more consistent results from them. The Dyslexia Shop is happy to help schools with quotes and orders for multiple classrooms.

• What is the IPEVO Scanner Pad?
  The IPEVO Scanner Pad is a magnetic scanning base for IPEVO V4K and DO-CAM visualisers. It gives you a flat, consistent surface for capturing worksheets, books and handwritten work. IPEVO states that it handles A3-sized scans and helps align scanning lines, with a maximum scanning area of 432 x 279 mm.
• Which visualisers does the IPEVO Scanner Pad work with?
  The Scanner Pad is designed for the IPEVO V4K and DO-CAM series of document cameras only. It is not intended for other IPEVO models such as the VZ series, which use the separate IPEVO Scanner Mat. The visualiser itself is sold separately, so check which IPEVO camera your school uses before ordering.
• How does the Scanner Pad help dyslexic pupils?
  It helps by keeping pages flat, still and aligned under the visualiser, so enlarged text on screen is clearer and easier to follow. Dyslexic learners often lose their place or tire quickly when text is small or moves. A stable, well-framed image lets the teacher point to each line as the class reads together.
• Is the IPEVO Scanner Pad suitable for classroom use?
  Yes, it is designed for everyday use with a visualiser in classrooms, intervention rooms and SEN bases. Teachers can capture worksheets, model answers or pupils' work in the same position every time. It folds to 336 x 146 x 20 mm, so it is easy to store or move between rooms.
• What age groups is the Scanner Pad suitable for?
  The Scanner Pad is operated by staff, so it suits any year group from EYFS through to post-16. The pupils simply view the enlarged, captured material on the board or screen. It is equally useful for whole-class teaching, small-group interventions and one-to-one support sessions.
• Does the Scanner Pad include scanning software?
  No, the Scanner Pad is supplied on its own. IPEVO sells software separately and in kits, so check what your school already has before ordering. The pad works as a physical scanning base alongside your existing IPEVO V4K or DO-CAM visualiser and its software.
• How big is the IPEVO Scanner Pad?
  The Scanner Pad folds to 336 x 146 x 20 mm and weighs 885 g. IPEVO gives its maximum scanning area as 432 x 279 mm. It is made from SPCC steel, FR4 plastic and fabric in a dark grey finish.
