PENpal - A Revolutionary Product in Dual Language Learning

Ever heard of talking books for children? You may not have yet heard of it, but it’s a reality you will come across sooner rather than later. And it all stems from a revolutionary technology that has led to the development of PENpal - a talking pen that brings sound to paper. How does it work? Well, when this pen touches a book or a poster or a sticky label that is pen-enabled, it produces a sound that is pre-recorded in the audio file for that particular resource. When you buy this pen, you will get value products along with it (including audio files), which you can use to enhance the reading, writing, and listening skills of your child.

You can also use PENpal with sticky labels to record your own sounds, such as instructions for children, at school or home. Since sound files are available in about 40 languages, the pen is a really efficient resource that can help teachers and parents accelerate the dual language learning process of children. Dual language books that are PENpal enabled deliver sounds in both the pre-programmed languages, helping children to have a better understanding of a particular work or phrase in two languages.

The pen comes with the capability of detecting sound spots on a page or graphic and then playing back pre-recorded sounds, music, narrations, quizzes, questions, and answers.
