Both the point-reading pen and the point-reading machine belong to the family of e-learning products, and they are the products of the continuous development of ELP technology. The development of ELP has gone through the following stages: repeater, electronic dictionary, learning machine, point reader and point reader. Judging from the applicable population, the age group is getting smaller and smaller; In terms of usage, it is getting simpler and simpler; From the subject content, it has developed from a single foreign language learning (especially English learning) to a multi-disciplinary category.

Specifically, the difference between point reading pen and point reading machine is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1, different shapes

As the name implies, the point-reading pen looks slightly thicker and smaller, while the point-reading machine needs to pull a cable to point, which is larger and more like a small notebook computer.

2. Use different technologies

The point reading pen adopts the advanced photoelectric recognition technology in the world, which can recognize the "password" on the supporting audio books and then make a sound. Technically, books and pens are half and half. The technology of point reading machine is mainly concentrated on the fuselage, which has nothing to do with books;

3. Use different methods

The use method of the point reading pen is: just buy the point reading pen from the manufacturer, download the sound file from the designated audio book website or copy the sound file into the point reading pen with the CD attached with the book, open the supporting audio book, and gently click on the text, pictures and other parts in the book to make a sound.

The use of point reading machine is more complicated, which requires the use of memory card;

4, the applicable population is different

Point-reading pen is an advanced reading tool, and its suitable audience depends entirely on the supporting books. At present, the supporting books are mainly concentrated in preschool children, so parents buy more reading pens for preschool children. However, with the continuous expansion of cooperation between audiobooks and publishing houses, the knowledge field and age span covered by audiobooks have also gradually extended.

5. The development prospects are different.

The development prospect of point reading pen and point reading machine is different because of their technology and convenient use.

As we all know, children use the point reading pen as an auxiliary tool for early education because they are illiterate and need ears to help them learn; However, there are still some people in society, such as the elderly, people with poor vision or visual impairment, and people with physical disabilities. These people also have the need to learn, but they don't have the physical conditions to read books flexibly. Point-reading pens and audiobooks are small in size, easy to carry and easy to learn, which are just suitable for them to use as auxiliary reading tools.

To sum up, point reading pen and point reading machine are two different reading tools. The point reading pen is a more advanced auxiliary reading tool, which will inevitably become the mainstream product of ELP early education in time. Aiko likes reading some pens, but they are not bad. I suggest you buy it and try it.
