C-Dictionary

1. Scan
The C-Dictionary is handy, efficient and easy to use, combining pen-reader technology with mouse functionality. The C-Pen 20 reads printed text and sends it directly to the cursor in the active application on your computer.

Simply plug the C-Dictionary into your USB socket and let it start saving you time and effort. You can read text and numbers directly into PC applications, and move easily between reader and translation fuctions.

The C-Dictionary, like the C-Pen20 package, can read text and digits in most fonts between 5-22 points. You simply place the cursor at the position where the read text is to be inserted and then you move it over the line of text, lifing the pen at the end of the line. The text then appears at the position of the cursor on your computer screen.

2. Translate
There are many powerful dictionaries available for the C-Dictionary (see list on the left). Using the serial number on your pen, you are entitled to download one of these dictionaries free of charge from the CPen website. When translating, your PC instantly searches the active databases and word-for-word translations/descriptions are provided on your computer screen. C Dictionary support installation and use of multiple dictionaries simultaneously.

3. Language Learning Aids
Learn Flashcards, cards with a question on one side and an answer on the other, remain a great way to learn and remember new information. There is research to suggest that flashcards are the best tool for memorisation. Much of this research focuses on what is called “spaced repetition”, in which information is reviewed over gradually expanding intervals. With the Flashcard exercises included, you can rehearse the words you have previously looked up (or other words).
