Draft:Reading pen (device)

  • Comment: Clearly just marketing for the not yet available to buy device from readioo. (A new company founded in 2024, website registered April 2024). The "Social and educational impact" section is about vaguely related topics like Screen time. The lead and "Technology" section are unsourced and specific to the readioo. The lead is misleading as it makes it sound like this can work with in a more general way than it does, i.e. it only 'reads' specific books/printed material purchased from the company (currently 1 book and one board for pre-order). Lastly no attempt to actually include existing pen readers such as C-Pen readers. KylieTastic (talk) 09:28, 5 September 2024 (UTC)


The Readioo Pen is a reading pen in Sweden.

A reading pen is an interactive device which provides synchronized audio content linked to physical books to support reading and language learning. When the user taps on specific parts of a physical book, the dot grid of the optical identification (OID) code in the book will then be recognized by the infrared scanner in the pen, and then the pen plays the corresponding audio files. The reading pen is typically different from scanning pens with text-to-speech function, such as C-Pen[1] readers.
