@danialexandriamusic: One of the many peices of assistive technology I used to help mitigate my disabilities is the C-Pen. The C-Pen is a portable pocket sized scanner that allows me to take text to speech software on the go. It’s great because I don’t have to carry around a laptop or an iPad and I also don’t need to get people to scan any documents and convert in into an accessible PDF beforehand. You can receive funding for this device through the Bursary for Students with Disabilities (BWSD) or through your school. I just thought I would highlight this assistive technology as often times we don’t know what is out there and available until someone tells us about it. Feel free to ask me any questions about the device. P.S. the device is completely wireless I just forgot to charge it before filming 😅 #assistivetechnology #BSWD #disabilitysupport #disabilitypride #dyslexia
I am a lawyer with a print disablity and just borrowed this today to try it out

I'm blind and use an Orcam Read. very similar in size and does exactly the same thing yours does. clever the Orcam can read a full page with just one click. highly recommend checking it out!

I have the orcam learn it is really good because you can scan a whole page at a time and it works for printed or on screen text the cpen is helpful but because you have to scan a line at a time it does take a lot longer and I find it can be hard to work with also the fact that you can't use it on screen for me when I was buying something independently the orcam was a better fit but there are definitely a variety of options out there and it's worth giving it a good look

I love this. I worked in the disability services in college. I remember the first time i told a student this was a thing we could get her. she cried. that was the moment that i understood the importance of accessibility and how it can look different 🥰💜

How easy is it to scan the text? I have shaky hands, and am curious to know how difficult it would be to follow the lines enough for it to read the text.

I read through your comments a bit and I see you're in Ontario do you know how one would go about requesting one of these in Alberta or who I should talk to? My kiddo is about to go into junior high and is a year behind in reading because of theor dyslexia and they keep pushing her through. I can't afford tutors and I feel like this would be such a game changer for them. I actually almost don't even care if I have to get it out of pocket 😅😆

This is cool! Is this for hearing people only? What about Deaf people who have dyslexia? Is there something out there for Deaf people with dyslexia?
