A pen that reads aloud?

So Pauline mentions, on her way out of the office, that she once saw a “scanner pen” that would read aloud printed words from the page.

“Stop right there!” i leapt up from my seat.
(Actually, i gazed up in a web-induced stupor, “Hmm?”)

At a conference for adaptive technologies a couple of years ago, she saw one of these things being used. A pen, that scans the page and reads aloud.

i want one.
i want several !!

How useful would that be for literacy learners?!
.. could be a good way to save time recording texts yourself too.

Dear Reader,
have you ever heard about one of these gadgets, and where i might find one?
thanks and kind regards, michael
