Scanning Translation Pen - Offline Reader & Dictionary, 123 Languages

Run the tip across a line of printed text and it reads it back translated, on its own screen, in about a second. Built for students, readers and anyone working through a book, a menu or a document in a language they are still learning.

What it does

• Scan-to-translate across printed text - books, menus, documents, packaging.
• Works offline for its core language pairs, so it keeps working on a plane or abroad with no data.
• 123 languages supported online.
• Built-in dictionary and word bank for saving what you look up.
• On-device screen - no phone required.
• Two colours: Black and Red.

Good to know

• It recharges over USB from any charger you already own. Any adapter in the box is not a North American plug, so use your own - the pen itself works fine either way.
• It scans printed text. Handwriting, heavily stylised fonts and screens are not what it is for.
• Offline mode is slightly slower than online; reviewers who use it on paper books rate it highest.
• Rated 4.9 stars across 247 supplier reviews and 1,000+ units sold, with "works as intended" and "accurate translation" the most common comments.
