TL;DR: As of Oct. 9, you can get the NEWYES Scan Reader Pen 3 Text-to-Speech OCR Multilingual Translator for just $124.99 instead of $199 — that's a 37% discount.


Traveling can be intimidating, especially if you’re going somewhere where you aren’t fluent in the language. You may not notice just how often you have to read and speak until you need to find a bathroom or order dinner in another language. When that happens, you could try a language dictionary or maybe put your faith in Google translate. Or, you could try some smart new translation hardware

The NEWYES Scan Reader Pen claims to translate up to 112 languages in text or speech with remarkable accuracy as a useful tool for travelers, and it’s currently 37% off. 

A reliable translation tool that fits in your pocket

NEWYES is an Indiegogo-funded personal translator that can translate written or spoken language. It recognizes 112 text or voice translation languages, and is designed to have lightning-fast translation speed. While scanning text, it recognizes up to 3,000 characters per minute and has a 0.3-second translation speed with up to 98% accuracy. 

You can even save audio to listen to or view a translation later. Transfer your audio files directly to your Mac or PC via a USB port. It also supports Bluetooth, so you could connect your earbuds and listen in private. That’s great if you don’t want to call attention to yourself while you’re translating something. 

NEWYES isn’t just for second-language learners. If you have Dyslexia or other visual processing disorders, it could be useful to have NEWYES scan and read aloud text. It’s kind of like having an audiobook on demand, though you do have to manually scan the text. 

112 languages at your disposal 

Learning another language may be a rewarding experience, but it can also be extremely difficult. If you’re just visiting, it may be easier to rely on a translator you know will have your back. For a limited time, get the NEWYES Scan Reader Pen 3 Text-to-Speech OCR Multilingual Translator for $124.99 (reg. $199).
