TALKING PEN, BOOKS, POSTERS & MATS
Bringing paper to life, the TalkingPEN ‘reads’ hotspots on posters, charts and in books that are pen-enabled. The pen will play back text (in English or a selected foreign language), music or sound effects according to what audio has been programmed into each hotspot on the paper.
NEW RecorderPEN This has all the functions of the original purple Crayon but can be used by the teacher or by children to record their own voices and save them on to the latest books; teachers and parents can also make their own recordings for their children.
MAKE YOUR OWN TAKING BOOK! You can make any book or poster ‘talk’ by using the new Recorder Pen with special stickers which have ‘hotspots’ built into them. Simply peel off the stickers as required (they are numbered consecutively) and attach each one to a page in your book (or to a poster (e’g’ the Welcome Multicultural Poster). Following the instructions, point the Recorder pen to the corresponding number on the Master Sheet provided and make your recording. You can re-record or save when satisfied. Whenever the Recorder Pen is subsequently pointed to the stickers in the book. It will ‘read’ whatever was previously recorded by you (or of course a pupil in your class)
LET THE WHOLE CLASS HEAR WHAT’S GOING ON!
A mains powered portable speaker unit is now available which works with a transmitter unit carried by the teacher on a belt. The whole class can now hear what is being said. This would be ideal, for example, for use with a Big Book which has been Talking Pen-enabled by you.
You can go back at anytime and edit anything you have previously recorded or perhaps use a different child to remake the recording.
START. Each publication has an arrow pointing to ‘Start’ which tells the pen which title it is ‘reading’. Each pen comes preloaded with some audio files but if the audio file for a publication has not been loaded* the pen will not react.
LANGUAGE. Each publication has a ‘Language ‘button. The user selects the language which they want to hear by repeatedly touching the button with the pen until it ‘speaks’ in the required language.
There is also a mode button on the pen which allows the user to flip instantly between English and the selected foreign language being used.
(*Additional audio files can be purchased as required, for instance when a new book is ordered. Links to audio files are sent to the purchaser by email and then downloaded to the computer before being simply transferred to the pen via the USB cable provided).
Two AAA batteries are required which will last about 12 hours in normal use. Battery life can be extended by keeping the volume low or better still by using earphones. Re-chargeable batteries can also be used with the usual recommendation that they are completely drained before re-charging.
