Abstract

A device that acts like a scanner pen with the capability to turn words that are then scanned into a verbal sentence to enable partially blind or others to read text easy by using this device. It can also be linked to a mobile phone or other similar devices. The device may also be used to translate text and display or play back to a user.

Description

MEMO PEN
A device that can be fitted to or linked to a mobile phone. A device that can be connected to a computer, a laptop or other fixed or portable machines.
A device that acts like a scanner memory pen that can be either built into a mobile phone or linked. It can also be built into or linked via broadband or other application to a computer.
The device could be used to scan over words in a book say and then the words that have been scanned are then translated into any language required such as English, German, Spanish, French, etc using a type of word recognition system. These words the scanner picks up in the language that is required can then be repeated in a different language either through an ear piece or speaker or printed on a phone screen or other digital device.
The device can also store information. It can also take English verbal words from an individual and translate those words into say french. This verbal sentence can then be on the screen of the mobile phone or fixed computer in french. The device would make it easier for people of different languages to immediately communicate in spoken and written Example being I can scan the words "This is a memo pen" with the device and then translate this sentence into german for my german friend to read and understand from my phone screen or compjiter screen, or he can hear the words in german through an earpiece.
Example being I can say the words "This is a memo pen" and the device can turn this into french for my french friend to hear via an earpiece and understand.
The device can be made to work with just one particular language or a variety of languages. The device could also be made for working either through verbal translation on its own or the scan and read translation on its own. It would also be useful for illiterate or partially blind people to scan and hear what the words say through an ear piece or other speaker system.
They could then learn to read quickly and in private
