The Rocket Pen Reading Tutor is an affordable, powerful reading assistant and reading tutor that erases the barriers created by dyslexia and other reading problems. It can be used privately in the classroom, avoiding stigma, thanks to the earbuds included in the kit (it can alternatively be used without earbuds).

  • LIFE-CHANGING: The Rocket Pen will help your child read independently in just days. This is the reading pen most often chosen by teachers and recommended for dyslexia support
  • 6-IN-1 READING TUTOR SYSTEM: Go beyond basic text-to-speech with spelling, syllabication (Orton-Gillingham inspired), phrasal verb lookup, idiom definitions, color-coded dictionary fields, and real-time word highlighting—designed to improve decoding, comprehension, and fluency
  • READS ANY SURFACE. Scans what you actually read from: phone, tablet, PC, other screens - not just paper. We could not find a single other reading pen that can do this. But the Rocket Pen can
  • READER PEN: You scan, it reads aloud individual words and even multiple lines of text in natural voice. Helps those with dyslexia or other reading-challenges gain reading independence. Earbuds automatically mute the built-in speaker to avoid classroom stigma. Select different voices for playback, lefthand or righthand use, left or right scan direction
  • REALLY BIG DICTIONARIES: A reader pen's word recognition capability depends on the depth of its onboard dictionary references. The Rocket Pen has the New Oxford American Dictionary with over twice the entries of the best competing reading pen,s plus the Oxford American Children’s Dictionary. It also has the Oxford Thesaurus of English and Oxford American Children’s Thesaurus. All of these are Americanized. The Rocket Pen scans English and French only, but contains an English to Spanish dictionary and a French definitions dictionary (French to French)
  • COMES COMPLETE. Self-contained, no computer, tablet, phone, or Wi-Fi required. Kit includes Rocket Pen reading tutor, USB charging cable, Quick Start Guide, earphones, and case. Meets FCC, ROHS, and CE standards, and conquers illiteracy
  • BACKED BY EXPERIENCE. The lead developers of the Rocket Pen Reading Tutor each have over 25 years of experience in reading assistive devices, and yet the Rocket Pen is the newest and most advanced reading pen on the market. And the only one with reading tutor functions

The Rocket Pen Reading Tutor is the next generation of the highly venerated, award-winning Reading Pen 2. It far surpasses the cPen Reader pen for multiple reasons. Those include reading tutor functions (none are present on the cPenReader Pen). But most remarkable is it can read from a phone or computer screen, just as the $1990 Orcam Read can do and the Read doesn't have reading tutor functions!

The Rocket Pen Reading Tutor is the answer for helping the reading-challenged in the classroom, special needs classes, home-schooling, and adult education. The Rocket Pen Reading Tutor gives the reading-challenged their independence, whether reading from paper or screen (e.g., tablet, smart phone, computer). 

Because of its mobile-friendly design, you can carry it with you and use it anywhere. Not only does it read to you, it helps you learn to read (for example, by showing you the syllable breakdown and the definition). It is super easy to use, no need to watch a dozen videos to figure out what to do.

You can use the Rocket Pen for what you actually read.

Most reading pens will read aloud the scanned text. But they are limited to reading from paper and the Rocket Pen is not. It will scan and read from not just from a book or magazine but also from a phone, computer screen, ebook reader, or tablet. These are what kids mostly read from today, so they need a reading pen that can read those surfaces. The Rocket Pen can, other reading pens can't.

How Various Reading Pens Compare

The reading aloud of scanned text is one of the six tools that the Rocket Pen provides for learning how to read. No other product provides any of the other five. This powerful combination of reading tutor tools speeds up reading progress, deepens word understanding, and sharpens the user's ability to cipher new words upon first encountering them.

Other reader pens can read for you (except from screens), but only the Rocket Pen will teach you how to read.
