A portable scanning mat for IPEVO VZ-R visualisers

The IPEVO Scanner Mat is a rollable scanning base optimised by IPEVO for its VZ-R document cameras. It gives teachers and SENCOs a flat, consistent surface for capturing worksheets, reading books and pupils' work, so the image on the board is straight and clear. Steady, well-framed text helps dyslexic learners who find skewed or shifting pages harder to read.

How it helps

IPEVO states that the Scanner Mat accommodates A3-sized materials and helps with aligning scanning lines. Its stated maximum scanning area is 432 x 279 mm. Made from jersey fabric and rubber, it measures 507 x 384 x 4 mm, weighs 400 g and rolls up, so it travels easily between classrooms or into a teacher's bag.

• Gives every capture the same position, which speeds up scanning a set of pages for a lesson or intervention.
• Produces straighter images that are easier to enlarge for pupils who need bigger, clearer text.
• Extends the value of IPEVO VZ-R visualisers your school may already own.
• Lightweight and portable for staff who teach in more than one room.

Supporting dyslexic learners

Dyslexic pupils often experience reading fatigue and lose their place when text is small or moves on screen. With a visualiser, a teacher can enlarge a page and track each line as the class reads. The Scanner Mat helps keep the page in position, so projected text stays stable and easier to follow, and captured pages can be saved and shared for pupils to revisit.

Why visualisers support inclusive teaching

Visualisers help staff model work live, enlarge print and share examples with the class. These approaches fit 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.

A low-cost upgrade

For schools already using IPEVO VZ-R visualisers, the Scanner Mat is an inexpensive way to get cleaner, more consistent captures. The Dyslexia Shop can provide quotes for multiple classrooms.

• What is the IPEVO Scanner Mat?
  The IPEVO Scanner Mat is a rollable scanning base for IPEVO VZ-R series visualisers. It gives a flat, consistent surface for capturing worksheets, books and pupils' work. IPEVO states that it accommodates A3-sized materials and helps align scanning lines, with a maximum scanning area of 432 x 279 mm.
• Which visualisers does the IPEVO Scanner Mat work with?
  IPEVO optimises the Scanner Mat for its VZ-R series document cameras, and its matching upgrade kit is named for the VZ series. For IPEVO V4K and DO-CAM visualisers, IPEVO offers the separate magnetic Scanner Pad instead. The visualiser is sold separately.
• How does the Scanner Mat help dyslexic learners?
  It helps by keeping pages flat and aligned, so enlarged text on the board is clearer and steadier. Dyslexic pupils can lose their place or tire quickly when text is small or shifts on screen. A stable image lets the teacher track each line as the class reads together.
• Can the Scanner Mat be used across different classrooms?
  Yes, the mat rolls up and weighs only 400 g, so it is easy to carry between rooms. This suits peripatetic staff, SEN bases and teachers who share a visualiser. It measures 507 x 384 x 4 mm when laid flat.
• What age groups is the Scanner Mat suitable for?
  The Scanner Mat is used by staff, so it suits any setting from EYFS to post-16. Pupils simply view the enlarged material on the board or screen. It works for whole-class teaching, small-group interventions and one-to-one support, and it rolls away neatly between sessions.
• Does the Scanner Mat include scanning software?
  No, the Scanner Mat is supplied on its own. IPEVO sells software separately and within kits, so check what your school already uses before ordering. The mat works as a physical scanning base alongside your existing IPEVO VZ-R visualiser and the software you already use with it.
• What is the IPEVO Scanner Mat made from?
  The Scanner Mat is made from jersey fabric and rubber in a dark grey finish. It measures 507 x 384 x 4 mm and weighs 400 g. IPEVO gives a 1-year warranty for its scanning bases from the date of purchase.
