About PenPower WorldPenScan Go Text to Speech Reader Pen
Overall Feedback:
81% positive
67% appreciated its long battery life, though 33% found it ran out quickly
The device has a rechargeable battery.
The battery life is not as long as I want it to be, but it is easy to charge, so it's not a big issue.
Initially, I thought I could rely on Google instead of using the translator.
Adding a sleep mode would improve the device as it would allow me to turn it off and on without touching the surface.

71% liked the multiple connection options, but 29% had issues with connectivity
I faced connectivity issues while trying to use the two-way speech conversion feature.
I had issues with connectivity, but I liked the features of the pen.
When I use the device with a hotspot on my phone, the connection is hit or miss. It works well at home, but not in other places without wifi.
I suggest setting up a guest network instead of connecting the device to the regular Wi-Fi network.
73% liked the sound quality, but 27% found it very low
In all major languages, the device sounds far better.
I can translate in real time to a language other than English and Chinese with excellent voice recognition capability.
I did not mention anything about the sound quality of my electronic foreign language translator.
86% praised the accurate translations, while 14% encountered issues
I found the translation feature accurate and useful. It translated the entire paragraph with close to full accuracy when sufficient text was selected.
When I translated words into Chinese, the accuracy was very high.
I initially had concerns about the translation quality being off and slow, but I was impressed with the actual result.
Rephrased: The translation quality initially concerned me, but I was impressed with the actual result.
When I scan German text to translate into English, the translation is very good, but not so in the other direction.
