Scanmarker for Schools
Scanmarker provides portable reading-support technology for schools — OCR, text-to-speech, dictionary, and translation depending on the model — designed to help students access printed text alongside existing teaching and accessibility strategies.
Scanmarker for School Districts
Plan, purchase, and deploy reading-support technology at district scale — from pilot programs through district-wide rollout, with procurement, IT, and training considerations addressed at each stage.
Assistive Technology for Schools
How schools can evaluate assistive technology based on a clearly identified student barrier rather than a feature list — and where printed-text scanning technology like Scanmarker fits alongside other accessibility tools.
Reading Support Technology for Schools
Where a reading pen fits among the range of reading-support approaches schools use — direct instruction, intervention, audiobooks, text-to-speech, and digital accessibility tools — and how to evaluate it against student needs.
Scanmarker for Special Education
Assistive technology for students who need additional access to printed information — what Scanmarker can provide, the distinction between access and instruction, and questions an IEP or support team might ask before implementation.
Scanmarker for Students With Special Educational Needs
Students encounter different barriers with printed information — decoding, vocabulary, language, fluency, or visual access. Scanmarker can provide another access option for appropriate users, evaluated individually.
