TAFE’s and community colleges across Australia benefit greatly from the C-Pen Reader 2™ and the C-Pen Exam Reader 2™. Many students that move into technical and further education have reading difficulties such as dyslexia and rely on assistive technology.

Our discreet and portable technology ensures users receive reading support without disrupting the class or asking for help from teaching staff.

The C-Pen Reader 2™ has great built-in features that makes using the pen very easy. Various settings allow the user to tailor the playback to meet their own personal needs.
