Can you use this pen to read text on a computer screen?

No, it would not work for that. There would, however, be some other assistive tech software and/or apps for 'text to speech' that would work with text on the computer, though. There are even things that let you scan text with an IPhone or IPod and transfer whole pages to the computer to have the computer read to you. (Those would not be practical for my student's use in her parochial school setting with limited computer availability yet, though, so I have not investigated them further yet.)

Hi Melissa,Yes, the Interactive Pen works just like a mouse, transforming any surface into a touchscreen. You can use the Interactive Pen to tap on the browser icon projected onto the white board to start using the browser.Hope we have answered your question.Sincerely,The IPEVO Team

Hi Dayna B.! Maureen here from The Friendly Swede:-) The answer is most likely no, unless you have a note taking app to use them with. These are not a fine tip, so the accuracy needed for handwriting on your screen is not optimal. Unfortunately we do not carry a fine tip stylus for handwritten notes yet. Anything else, please let me know here at this link:

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

Not on my thinkpad 201 or my macbook Pro. Haven't tried writing with it, but it works for reading with just one USB port.

The pen does not improve handwriting. I bought the mouse for drawing purposes, so you may need to investigate in software that is designed for that purpose. Good luck.

You could but it would be a little difficult because of they keyboard. The screen nor the keyboard folds back 180 degrees so it would be a little cumbersome trying to write on a screen standing upright, with the keyboard underneath.

Once you install the software you can use mouse or pointer to write on screen. (but you need to connect the USB Penpower first, no Penpower find software will not load)

You can use the stylus to convert writing into type anywhere there is a place to enter text on your computer. Just use the on-screen keyboard, and select the keyboard option for using the stylus.

You can use this pen on any smartphone with a capacitive screen. I use it on a Samsung Galaxy 4. I bought one for my wife and she uses it on an iphone. I have also used it on my friends smartphones.It also eliminates finger prints and keeps the screen cleaner.

You can, but its not like using a pencil or pen, you have to keep the bottom of the pen straight and not tilted when you draw or write. If not, the arrow in the screen will go off course. (Its like tilting a regular computer mouse.) This may affect your hand-writing when you use it, since your hand must be posed straight at all times. It is better than using a mouse when it comes to signing and drawing, and it's a good quality, especially for the price.

No, These pens are designed for drawing tablets, all it will do on your surface is scratch the screen. Your looking for a Capacitive stylus which works properly on touch screens, a simple google or amazon search will find you plenty of Capacitive styluses which will work great on your tablet computer.

Yes, but only as a stylus. It will not function as a surface pen. Do a search on 'surface pen' and you'll see what the differences are. My Surface 2 does not make use of the surface pen functionality.

Any capacitive touch stylus will work on this monitor. But it doesn't have any special digitizer or anything (I'm thinking like the one in the Surface Pro.)

Hi deuse! Yes, all of our stylus pens are made to be used on any capacitive touchscreen device (so basically any screen you would use your fingertip on). If there's anything else, just let me know. I can be contacted directly via this link:

No, you cannot. This is just a pen tablet that needs to connect to a computer to use. It does not have a screen on it, just a touchpad that the pen uses. You may be thinking of the new Wacom Cintiq Companion and Companion Hybrids tablets, that have an actual screen that reacts to a pen and can save images off the computer (they are actual tablet computers, sort of like iPads, only with the sensitivity of the Cintiq series so you can make art on them). Hope that helps!
