The Scanmarker Max is Scanmarker’s flagship reading and scanning device, bringing together a comprehensive range of tools to help users access, understand and capture information more independently.
Designed for use with printed text, spoken conversations and larger sections of content, Scanmarker Max goes beyond traditional scanning pens. Its integrated high-resolution camera enables users to capture entire paragraphs using Photo Scan, while its built-in reading, translation, transcription and study features provide support across education, the workplace and everyday life.
With both online and offline functionality available across selected features, Scanmarker Max can provide useful support in a wide range of environments.
Key Features
Read / Text-to-Speech
Scan printed text and have it read aloud, helping users access written information without having to read directly from the page. Text-to-speech supports 5 languages offline and more than 50 languages when online.
Speak – Live Voice Translation
Supports two-way spoken translation across more than 100 language pairs, making it easier to communicate with people who speak different languages.
Translate
Quickly translate printed or scanned text directly on the device. Translation is available in 5 languages offline, with support for up to 112 languages when connected online.
Export Scanned Text
Save captured text directly to the Scanmarker Max and transfer it to a computer, where it can be edited, organised or incorporated into other documents.
Dictionary
Look up English words directly from scanned content, with definitions and pronunciation support to help improve understanding and vocabulary.
Favourites
Save useful words and phrases for quick access later. This can be particularly helpful for vocabulary development, revision and repeated practice.
Voice Recording
Capture voice memos directly on the device and save them for later use. Recordings can also be exported to a computer.
Photo Scan Camera
The integrated high-resolution camera allows larger sections of printed material to be captured at once. Rather than scanning individual lines, users can photograph and access entire paragraphs.
Live Transcription
Convert spoken conversations into editable written text in real time, providing another way to capture information from discussions and spoken communication.
Phonics Support
Provides phonetic spellings alongside audio playback to support reading and pronunciation development, with a library of approximately 3,500 words.
Exam Lock
Exam Mode allows authorised administrators to password-protect the device and restrict access to selected functions. This provides greater control over which Scanmarker Max features are available within controlled assessment environments.
An All-in-One Reading Companion
By combining scanning, reading, translation, transcription and study tools in one portable device, the Scanmarker Max provides a flexible way to access information. It can be particularly useful for users who benefit from having printed text converted into speech or digital content, as well as those working across different languages or looking for additional reading and study support.
