We have a new service on offer to members of the public called Reader Pens. Reader Pens read words and full lines of text aloud for independent reading. Those with dyslexia, those who have difficulty with reading or pronunciation, those learning languages or those with vision problems will find these pens extremely helpful pieces of technology.
This device reads text out with natural speaking voice. The pens have built-in dictionaries so you can access definitions as you read for better understanding.
These devices can be borrowed, by any library user for an eight week loan period. To access these pens please email libraryculture@dlrcoco.ie
Please note we also have Reader Pens available for reference use within all eight branch libraries.
