To bring revolution to education 'The Talking Pen - Multimedia Print Reader' has arrived in India. Aadarsh Pvt. Ltd., a trusted name in the education sector and Central India's leading publishing house-- introduced this unique education technology to revolutionise the current traditional education pattern and learning process in India.

This education tool will also cater to the special needs of the visually challenged population and people suffering from various levels of Dyslexia. It will also help in empowering volunteers responsible for public service education or vocational training with technological proficiency.

As per the recent UNICEF report our education system is plagued by shortages—teachers, resources, schools and classrooms. India has the world's largest Visually Challenged population, which is 15 million out of the 47 million worldwide and on an average every 3–4 students of a class suffer from varying levels of dyslexia. Keeping these in mind, the MPR is a blessing for society, it will help elevate the learning experience of students.

The Multimedia Print Reader is a giant leap in the educational technology, which uses listening skills along with traditional reading. It is a unique concept where the Pen recites the written text. The initiative brought a new revolution among neo literates of rural areas under Saakshar Bharat, the flagship program of Government of India. To convert the society into literate society, literacy is the master key and talking pen is such a technology that may prove very useful in motivating the target group towards reading habit.

It is designed to encourage a love of reading in children and also helps in developing listening skills.

Mr. Manish Rajoria, Director, Aadarsh Pvt. Ltd., said, “We feel honoured and elated in introducing this technology in our country. There has been an exceptional support and faith in the technology from almost all the verticals of society. We are in talks with various national and international NGOs, Publishers, Government organizations, International firms and have received most encouraging feedback from all. The Talking Pen (MPR) is not just a technology innovation, it is a social revolution in the education system."

"Apart from its numerous advantages for the students, MPR is beneficial for publishers as any book can be printed in Multiple Languages using multiple downloadable audio files. MPR Books will help in combating the serious threat of piracy which publishers are facing today. We are confident that this unique education technology will bring in a new wave of interesting learning process with an emphasis on the vital role of education in everybody's life", he further added.

The Talking Pen (MPR) will make storybooks, poems and rhymes interesting for the young readers, helping in improving the attention span, reading ability and concentration of the dyslexic and visually challenged. This little wonder will also help language learning with improved pronunciation by countering regional influences. MPR will foster a self-learning process, specially in the rural areas, encouraging the students to work independently in the absence of teachers or teacher's attention, this would heighten results even in a poor student–teacher ratio.

MPR 'Talking Pen' comes with an in-built speaker, camera and 2 GB memory card; When the MPR pen is positioned over abook with MPR codes, it activates the pre-loaded audio files, so a reader is also able to hear the text they are reading. This technology gives a human face through voice in the learning process, making it interactive, interesting and educational.

Working in close observation with children and their learning styles, Aadarsh Pvt Ltd found that early reading develops through improving phonics, speech and character recognition. The MPR succeeds in captivating kids' attention and arouses the desire to know more. It reinforces effective learning. The book, not only, holds the child's interest but also encourages independent reading and self-learning skills. It also enhances comprehension and improves diction and vocabulary.

In the book section, Aadarsh have already designed and developed numerous books like Encyclopedias, Experiment books, Activity books, Alphabet books, Handwriting Practice Books, Colouring Books, Origami Books, Embroidery Books, Picture Dictionaries, Phonics, Baby Scrap Books, Quiz Books, Fairy Tales, Story Books, Drawing books and Charts.
