Guides
8 guides covering dyslexia & reading support — practical, evidence-grounded information on dyslexiascanmarker.com.
Scanmarker for Special Education
Scanmarker is designed to scan printed text and convert it into digital information, with features such as OCR and text-to-speech depending on the model. It is not a treatment for dyslexia or a replacement for specialized reading instruction — it can function as an assistive technology tool alongside instruction, accommodations, and other learning supports.
Scanmarker for Reading Intervention
Reading intervention teaches reading skills. Scanmarker can help a student access printed information when reading those words independently is difficult. That distinction makes Scanmarker potentially useful as part of a broader support strategy.
Scanmarker for Learning Support
Learning support is not about finding one device that solves every challenge. It is about identifying where a student encounters a barrier and providing the right support for that particular task. For students who struggle to access printed text, Scanmarker can provide a portable way to scan and interact with written information.
Scanmarker for Educators
Teachers are often asked to support students with very different reading needs in the same classroom. A student may understand the lesson but struggle to access the printed material. For educators evaluating assistive technology, Scanmarker can provide a practical option for students who need help accessing printed words.
Scanmarker for Parents
If you've reached this page, you may already know that your child needs some additional support with reading. Scanmarker is designed to provide access to printed text through scanning and OCR, with additional functionality depending on the model — it can be useful as an assistive reading tool, but it is not a treatment for dyslexia and should not replace appropriate reading instruction.
Which Scanmarker Is Right for Me?
The best Scanmarker isn't necessarily the most advanced model. It is the model that fits what you need to scan, where you will use it, and which features actually matter to you. Use this guide to narrow down your choice.
Reading Pen Buyer's Guide

Choosing between Scanmarker models should start with one question: what do you need the device to do? A parent may prioritize simple reading support, a student may care about portability, a professional may prioritize OCR and computer connectivity. Use this comparison to identify which features matter most before choosing a model.
