Talking Pen

Description

The Talking Pen is a revolutionary device which can record multiple messages and it looks like a standard pen. It has integrated memory of 4 GB and it can store unlimited voice messages of approximately 250 hours total duration. This pen can transform any object to a talking object. All you have to do is stick a sticker code anywhere you like and record a message using the Talking Pen. Each time you place the Talking Pen over that sticker code the pen will start “reading” the pre-recorded voice message.

The Talking Pen has extra educational resources, such as special books, fairy tales, dictionaries, flashcards and posters which don’t require sticker codes. They have ready sounds, which you can download for free on your pen through a computer. Those sounds include fairy tales, exploring of each resource and games-questions which provide instant feedback about your answers.

The Talking Pen includes two modes, "Print Mode" and "Recording Mode". To move from one mode to the other just press the Mode button. “Print Mode” is used with the aforementioned educational resources and “Recording Mode” is used with the sticker codes for recording your own sounds.

If you are going to use “Print Mode” with your extra educational resources you first need to transfer each educational resource’s sounds to the pen’s memory. You can do this for free with the FREE LINK software, which is included on the pen’s memory.

Instructions for use

To record and playback a message using a sticker code
