I purchased this for my son who has dyslexia to help him as he is reading. Since it has a dictionary and it speaks the word it has been very useful. There is a bit of a learning curve in handling the pen and getting it to scan but once that technique is down things go very smoothly. It has given my son more independence with his reading and I no longer have to stand over him to make sure he is indeed reading a word correctly or he is understanding what a difficult word means.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Wizcom WRP2 ReadingPen 2 - Portable Handheld Scanner" are high quality item.
