Description by Claro Software Ltd (from Google Play)
Need to listen to printed text spoken aloud - at school, in a test or exam, at work or at home? Use Claro ScanPen to photo your printed text document, letter, test paper - then select the text with your finger or (stylus), and hear it spoken straight back to you. Instantly! No internet connection required.

Claro ScanPen advances read aloud support. It gives access to printed text materials, exam papers and documents for all, in a wide range of languages. Using your Android Phone, or Tablet, simply:

• Highlight with your finger or stylus which section of text you want to hear spoken to you.
• Listen as Claro ScanPen instantly reads the text back to you using a human quality voice in a language of your choice.

With your finger (or stylus) you can highlight all of the text, word by word or line by line. Tap anywhere to stop the speech.

Claro ScanPen app has no access to the internet or any reference material like dictionary or thesaurus, so is perfect to use as a read aloud tool under exam and test conditions, helping students who cannot read text very well (e.g. students with dyslexia) to listen to the exam test paper questions and information. It can also be used for quickly converting class handout materials, printed presentations, instructions, books - in fact anything containing printed texts. Great for independent access and learning.

Claro ScanPen uses the latest Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to convert your picture into text and uses Android system voices to read the text back to you. The OCR in Claro ScanPen fully supports the recognition of text in the following languages:

• English
• Danish
• Dutch
• French
• German
• Italian
• Norwegian
• Portuguese
• Spanish
• Swedish

Simply select the voice that matches the language of your text to hear it read back correctly.

Comments on Claro ScanPen OCR Reader for Android

★★★★☆ Joshua Hori · Feb 18, 2017
Quite handy in a pinch for android users. Make sure the paper is flat and there shouldn't be problems with conversions from image to text; curves tend to make sentences interesting as they mix and match. Would like access to the LED for quicker focus when in dark areas, its disabled when I try to turn it on. Would also like to request a line for guidance when taking images of text for alignment purposes.
★★★★★ Andrew Stout · Jun 6, 2024
Probably the most effective and easy to use OCR reader available for phones. Always recommend this to students with Dyslexia and other reading difficulties.
★★★★★ #Ross light · Aug 17, 2019
This app has given me huge independence I normally can't read very well, and it has really helped me
★★★★★ Kalyan surapogu · Nov 28, 2019
This app is working very good. Please add telugu voice and support for scan telugu language. Thank you.
★☆☆☆☆ Lauren · May 16, 2018
Unfortunately this Android version of a great iOS app is terrible. Very basic flaw...it can't detect text in images! Images are very clear. Obviously something has gone wrong.
★★☆☆☆ miliana herrera · Apr 18, 2018
It was awesome in the beginning. But then every time I would try to take a picture of a paper it would say there would be no words detected .even though the picture of the document was very clear. It's been doing this for a while now, and I deleted it and download it again. And it still wouldn't work when I try to make it read.
★☆☆☆☆ Chloe Dupuis · Nov 24, 2019
It was fine at first but know there's been so many problems, it freezes, the app keeps closing and know it won't even read. I actually had to uninstall and install it but know it won't work at all. So I wouldn't recommend this app.
★☆☆☆☆ Jacqui D · May 18, 2018
It keeps displaying message no text detected. Had such high hopes for this, now deeply disappointed. I'll just have to uninstall.
