Congratulations to your
advanced C-Pen Reader 2.
C-Pen Reader 2 is designed with the purpose of being a
reading assistant, and the objective is to make you an in-
dependent reader. Whether you need to read questions in
an exam, do your homework, or simply want to read your
favourite novel, we hope reading becomes less challeng-
ing and more enjoyable.
C-Pen Reader 2 also supports literacy. The embedded
word definition dictionaries make understanding so much
easier.
The purpose of this guide is to get you started. It does
not provide a complete description of all functions and
settings at they change by each firmware upgrade we
provide. Therefore, for latest and more complete informa-
tion check our website

and our Youtube channel

Let’s get started!
1. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds, then
release it. If the display doesn’t light up, charge the
battery for about 30 minutes and then give it a sec-
ond try.
2. At first use, a guide will help you set up your C-Pen
Reader 2. This includes settings for
• Talking Menu (reads menu out loud)
• Menu language (user interface language)
• Scan language (language of text to scan)
• Voice (as some languages supports more than
one accent)
• Preferred dictionary
• Left-/Right-handed (hand holding the pen)
After this, you reach the menu. Choose the function you
want, for example C-Pen Reader 2, using the 4-way Nav
button and the OK-button in the middle. Scan and listen
to the text being read aloud to you. Press the OK button to
listen to the text as many times as you want. Or press the
MENU button to access options such as reading speed,
volume, reading pauses, reading language and dictio-
naries. If you like, you can connect a pair of earphones so
that only you can hear the C-Pen Reader 2.
How to scan
Hold the C-Pen Reader 2 almost straight up. Make sure
that you do not press any buttons during a scan. The pen
scans one (1) text line at a time and this text line shall be
centred in between the two white nibs in the front of the
EN

pen. Scanning start and stop points are aligned with the
edge of the transparent window. When the Scan Trigger
gets in touch with the paper, the scan light lits up. Start
moving the pen straight along the text line at a steady
pace.

C-Pen Reader 2 functions
Unless otherwise stated, C-Pen Reader 2 is a standalone
and self-contained product and works without being con-
nected to any other device.
Please check out video guides (youtube.cpen.com) for
more detailed description.
Talking menu
When turned on, all menu items are read aloud to support
e.g., visually impaired users. Switch on or off under Set-
tings in the main menu.
Reader function
Scan a word, line of text or paragraph and have the text
read aloud to you. C-Pen Reader 2 can be set to read
text automatically when scanned, or just read text on the
screen when you press the OK button. When listening to
EN
5
the text, you can pause it by pressing the OK button, and
the scanned text can be read out as many times as you
like. Use the navigation buttons to select the starting point,
then press the OK button and listen. When a specific word
is selected, press and hold the OK button to zoom in on
it and have it read aloud. You can also look the word up
in a dictionary by long press OK button when a word is
zoomed in.
Save scanned text
In Reader function, press MENU button and select Save
to Library. The scanned text is then saved in a text file in
C-Pen Reader 2’s internal memory. The text file can be ac-
cessed in the Library/My Text Files and stored files can be
uploaded to a computer if C-Pen Reader 2 is connected
via USB in U-disk mode. When using the Connect Desktop
app (C-Pen Reader 2’s companion app) on the computer,
files may be shared, edited, or re-downloaded to the pen
and accessed again in the Library (max. 64kB file size). A
text file may also be opened, edited, and saved via the
pen’s user interface at any time later. It is possible to open
a text file and have the content read aloud – like in Reader
function. You can scan new text into the existing file, re-
name the file and delete words or entire sentences.
Definitions
C-Pen Reader 2 contains one or more monolingual
dictionaries for the supported languages. You can enter
this function and then scan one or more words. Use the
navigation buttons to select the word you want to look
up and the word’s definition. Based on what settings you
use, accessible by pressing the MENU button, the pen can
EN

read the definition aloud.
Recorder
Start recording a voice memo with the microphone 5-10
cm from your mouth. Speak with your normal voice. Use
the OK button to toggle between Record/Pause. And
when finished, use Back button to exit. The recording is
automatically saved in the Library/My Recordings and can
be retrieved and listened to at any time.
USB connectivity
When C-Pen Reader 2 is connected to a computer you get
a couple of additional functions. Select one out of three
options:
• U-Disk
In this mode C-Pen Reader 2 becomes a portable
disk. You can access or download text files saved
in the Library, import usage statistics to Connect
Desktop app or use C-Pen Reader 2 as a portable
drive.
• Keyboard
In this mode C-Pen Reader 2 doubles as a key-
board. Anything you scan with C-Pen Reader
2 is directly and automatically input to any text
field where the text cursor is positioned. It is thus
possible to scan text directly to text editors, like MS
Word, Google Doc and others, and spreadsheets.
In this mode it is important that the computer sys-
tem keyboard (e.g., MAC OSX and Windows) is set
to the same language as the C-Pen Reader 2.

settings.
