  • Serial cable to connect pen to computer
  • Guide ruler to help scanning

If you search for "The Unofficial Pocket Reader Homepage" you can find drivers for many other operating systems!

NB. If there are any batteries in the pack, they will most probably be flat, which is why we say "Batteries not included". You will need to supply 2x AAA batteries.

Please note, this device does not read the text out loud for you.
