Each pen scans a line of printed text and reads it back aloud within seconds, so dyslexic pupils can access the same worksheets, textbooks and past papers as their classmates. Every device includes an Exam Lock function that restricts selected features for assessment conditions, where the exam centre permits its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside the standard scan function, each Scanmarker Max offers \u003cstrong\u003ePhoto scan\u003c\/strong\u003e for capturing a block of text or a full page, \u003cstrong\u003eTranscribe\u003c\/strong\u003e for turning speech into written notes, translation between languages for EAL learners and language study, and an export function for moving captured text to a computer or tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExam use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExam use is decided by the candidate's exam centre in line with current JCQ regulations. Scanning pens with text-to-speech are one of the more tightly controlled categories, and permission depends on the subject, the assessment objectives being tested and whether the device forms part of the candidate's normal way of working. Because a ten-pack is usually bought ahead of an exam series, agree the position with your exams officer early.

When decoding absorbs most of a pupil's effort, little capacity is left for understanding the sentence in front of them. A reading pen removes that bottleneck word by word, so a dyslexic pupil keeps pace with the content and holds onto meaning. Used with headphones, the support stays private, which matters to secondary-age pupils who do not want to be seen needing help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are costing a department rollout or want to trial devices before committing to ten, contact our team. We accept school and local authority purchase orders and can provide a written quotation for budget approval.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scanmarker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58038714827134,"sku":"EL493-PACK","price":2879.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/Scanmarker_Max_Benefits_1.jpg?v=1789553241","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/scanmarker-max-reading-translation-pen-suitable-for-exams-class-10-pack","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
