The World Scanner Go is a simple, dependable reading pen and pocket translator. But there are two key reasons it stands out from the crowd...  

#1: The first is that it's a reading pen and pocket translator!

When it comes to language needs, and especially for those parents who are supporting children and young people with language development, you need a device that combines text-to-speech reading support with super-fast translation to ensure that you’re prepped for every homework drama. And what about asking for directions when you’re on the road on holiday, or getting to grips with materials from international markets if you’re working abroad? Speaking support or text translation are all on easy mode when you don’t have to switch devices or reach for the dictionary... and with World Scanner Go, it’s all right there in your pocket from the word go.  

Who doesn’t want their life to be a little easier? 

#2: The second is bang for your buck.

Simple doesn’t have to mean basic when it comes to the World Scanner Go: the brains at e-pens have ensured that it’s jam-packed with functionality, but without the hefty price tag that puts far too many devices well out of folks' financial comfort zone. So that’s 60+ languages, a lightning-fast pocket translator for homework, business and travel, and basic reading support – all for around the same price as a single hour of professional tutoring or translating (...or about 28.5 takeaway lattes).  

✅ 60+ languages, one handy little pen 

With 60+ languages to choose from, the World Scanner Go assists any language-learning need: check out the full list of available languages over at the World Scanner Go product hub at Scanning Pens!   

✅ One tool for everything 

From reading support for homework and practicing with kids learning English as an Additional Language to translation on the go for business and travel, World Scanner Go supports all of your reading and language needs with ease, every time.  

✅ Scan the page, scan the screen, or translate direct from speech! 

However you need to communicate, World Scanner Go means access to direct support in the exact form that you need it. That means no flicking between phone apps or the need for multiple devices: it’s all in your pocket (or handbag, backpack, pencil case, fruit bowl or desk drawer).  

✅ Created by the experts 

It’s created by the EdTech experts at e-pens, the brains behind some of the most life-changing and award-winning reading and translation technology in the world.  

✅ Intuitive by design 

With a super-simple app-based touchscreen menu, using the World Scanner Go is simpler and faster than using a smartphone for readers and learners of all ages and language proficiencies.  

✅ Wherever, whenever with World Scanner Go!  

You can use World Scanner Go offline to support reading, or connect to any available Wi-Fi for translation support on the go. It’s lightweight, compact and comprehensive, whatever your needs and wherever you are – and the long-life rechargeable battery ensures that you’ll never be caught without support when you or the children and young people in your life need it most.  

The reading pen part: no need for Wi-Fi! 

Text-to-speech support in the form of a reading pen is a tried and tested way of increasing your reading understanding, whether you’re six or eighty-six. 

It works like this: simply move the World Scanner Go along the text on the page and listen to the words as they’re read back to you via the pen’s in-built audio or the USB-C earphones provided. It’s the simplest and most efficient way of boosting comprehension as well as your vocab, and it makes things easier to remember when you can hear them as well as see them on the page. 

Having text-to-speech support can make all the difference when it comes to ensuring that you can fully understand the task at hand, and when it’s as simple to access as it is on the World Scanner Go, it can open the door to a new, more language-confident you. And that’s something everybody can enjoy, whether it leads to less stressful study season for your family or a mini-break in Europe.  

The translator part: connect online and unlock language-learning!  

But that’s not all. We know that parents are often the first-line responders when homework gets tricky, and we know that quite often, language learners often have parents who themselves may not be confident or fluent in the language being studied. And that’s a difficult situation for any learner who needs help with homework or coursework to be in, because if you can’t understand what you’re being asked to do, it’s incredibly difficult to even get started.  

But it’s the exact scenario where the World Scanner Go’s easy translation function comes into its own. Whether they’re working from a textbook or simply need help with speaking and pronunciation, it empowers parents with the skill sets that they need to support the children and young people in their lives, as well as provides that learner with an independent reading support mechanism for their own use too.  

Supporting parents as they support learners  

English isn’t always the easiest language to pick up especially if you’ve come to it long after you’ve started education, or even left it altogether. Fluency can be even trickier to develop if you usually communicate in other languages at home, for students and parents alike.  

That’s why many English Language Learners tend to struggle a lot more when it comes to homework. When teachers and learning support professionals aren’t there and there’s a limited English proficiency in the household, it leaves learners to work through the work they’re set largely unsupported, or relying on online translation and experiencing all of the distractions inherent in using the internet. 

But that’s where the World Scanner Go’s hybrid reading pen and pocket translator functionality has been designed with parents in mind. Supporting learners with homework, revision and coursework in a language that you yourself might not be completely confident in is often an anxiety-inducing task, especially when children and young people look to you for support– but with a reliable pocket translator to hand, parents are once again in the driving seat when it comes to helping out with homework, as well as translating on the go at parents’ evening and decoding teacher emails and school reports. 

A pocket translator for business and travel  

But life doesn’t just happen in the classroom, does it?  

Although the World Scanner Go supports anybody learning a language, it’s especially a popular pick for travelers and those who often encounter resources in other languages as part of the work they do. Translation in scenarios like these needs to be speedy and adaptive, as well as accurate, and it’s far easier and more effective to reach for a multi-functional reading pen and pocket translator than put yourself in the hands of Google Translate every time.  

Whether you’re seeking translation support as you head abroad for the summer or if you work internationally and are looking to overcome a language barrier between you, your colleagues and the markets you work in, World Scanner Go has the power to make understanding easy for everyone. 

There’s no need for complicated computer programs, or even expensive translation experts— just scan the page, scan the screen, speak, and understand! 

When tech keeps it this simple, the world is your oyster 🦪 

A truly pocket-friendly pocket translator 

We know that budgeting isn’t as easy as it used to be. Especially if you’re a parent, there’s a good chance you might have seen your household bills and the cost-of-living increase over the past twelve months, and that puts pressure on everyone.  

But dependable support for anyone with language learning needs doesn’t have to break the bank when it comes in the form of the World Scanner Go: it’s been designed by the reading pen experts at e-pens to keep affordability at the heart of the equation without limiting its functionality or requiring users to jump through any unnecessary hoops.  

So, from language homework help and kitchen-table English support to anything else you might encounter as you work or travel, with the World Scanner Go, you can go ahead confident that you can deal with whatever challenges the day might bring. And whenever it brings them, too – featuring a rechargeable long-life battery and a reliable customer support service included with every product through us at Scanning Pens, it’s easier than ever to make sure that you’re supported in every eventuality.
