Scanning Pens

At Scanning Pens, we are at the forefront of assistive technology, revolutionizing the reading experience for individuals with dyslexia and other literacy differences. Through groundbreaking innovation, our core mission is to develop and distribute portable text-to-speech devices that empower users to engage with written material independently and confidently. Our pen scanners represent a significant leap forward, allowing users to scan lines of text which are then instantly read aloud via a human-like digital voice. This technology not only aids comprehension but also fosters a love of reading by removing common barriers faced by neurodivergent individuals. We are committed to making reading accessible to everyone, everywhere, transforming learning and everyday life for students, professionals, and anyone who struggles with traditional text.

Founded in 2003 by Jack Churchill and Toby Sutton, Scanning Pens was born from a passion to leverage technology to support diverse learning needs. Jack Churchill's personal experience with dyslexia was a driving force behind the company's vision to create intuitive and effective reading aids. Our innovative C-Pen series, including the C-Pen Reader 2 and C-Pen Exam Reader 2, are designed with user-centric features, such as built-in dictionaries and the ability to function without an internet connection, ensuring they are practical tools in various settings, from classrooms to workplaces and even during exams. We are dedicated to not only advancing our technology but also to raising global awareness of dyslexia and promoting inclusivity. Our commitment extends to providing robust support and resources, ensuring users can maximize the benefits of our products and achieve their full potential. Through continuous research and development, Scanning Pens strives to break down literacy barriers and champion a world where everyone can read and succeed.
