The audible books are a bit special that they have invisible barcode printed on every page. The barcodes are printed using high resolution printer so it is not obvious. If we look carefully, we could still see some small dots in the books. These dots form a special type of barcode. The Talking-Pen reads these barcode and plays a corresponding audio stored in a data file.
The barcode is manually created at design phase. EMOTI provides service to add these barcodes for normal books. We also provide service for audio recording (for creation of data file for the book). Publisher can still use their own printing company as before, and we will provide necessary guidance. No special equipment is required to print the audible books.
We also convert normal school or childcare teaching notes to be audible notes, which will then work with EMOTI Talking-Pen. These audible notes can be printed using normal laser printers. Please contact us for a free sample in PDF format.

]]>Talking-Pen is mainly to be used by young children. Safety is the most important factors. The materials must be safe. No removable parts.
EMOTI Talking-Pen is designed with minimum removal parts. It only consists a power button. It even has no volume keys. Volume adjustment can be achieved by tapping the volume control in printed books.
EMOTI Talking-Pen is certified with FC/CE/RoHS/CCC. The charger supplied is locally certified with Safety Mark. It is safe for children. Many other talking-pens are NOT certified, especially their chargers are not suitable for local usage.
The Talking-Pen should be attractive to young children; otherwise they may not use it.
EMOTI Talking-Pen features adorable cartoon design, which is attractive to children. It comes with dual speaker which offers load and clear audio.
The Talking-Pen should be durable. Young children may knock and drop the Talking-Pen during their use. The Talking-Pen's scanning head is a sensitive and precise module. If the angle is misaligned, it will not be able to read book any more. It needs special protection.
New EMOTI Talking-Pen models has added silicon cushion around the scanning read to secure the parts' positions. It can sustain fallings from 100 centimeter height, up to 100 times. With such a design, it is more durable than other talking-pen models.
While it is relatively easy to make a talking-pen, it requires larger amount of investment and efforts to develop audible books. The audible books need to be manually edited to include the hidden barcode and then printed. Negotiation of copy rights, creation of audio recording and inventory of printed books, all these will incur high cost and efforts. As a result, many Talking-Pen comes with a limited number of books.
EMOTI Pte Ltd works with China's No.1 Talking-Pen supplier (more than half of the market share in China), who has the largest creation of audible books. On top of this, EMOTI Pte Ltd also works with Singapore's local publisher to create audible books. With careful selection, EMOTI supplies about 50 sets of audible books (total more than 300 titles), and increasing.
It is important the Talking-Pen should have local support, such as downloading of data file, buying additional books, warranty repair, etc. For some talking-pen sellers in Singapore, once sold, the seller would go MIA.
With EMOTI, the data files are locally hosted and download speed is guaranteed.
EMOTI Pte Ltd provides 12 month warranty for all Talking-Pen sold. Additional 3 month warranty is granted for for those LIKE us on Facebook. We have provided trade-in option for Talking-Pens that were many years ago.
We are actively working with local publishers to create more local contents for the Talking-Pen, as well as Apps for App Store. We have created a few local contents, such as Tots Can Read Chinese(4) [我会读-第四辑], and audible notes for some childcare centers.
EMOTI Talking-Pen is the No.1 Talking-Pen in Singapore. It features an adorable cartoon design that is attractive to young children. It is durable with silicone cushion to protect the scanning components and PCB. Local support is available where new books will be made available from time to time. It's a fun way to read.
Reading is the key to success. Help your child to start reading earlier!

新加坡华文教研中心高级讲师刘渼博士指出: 小孩3岁起学华文最好。文中指出: 通过互动式的阅读法,不但能够滋养孩子对阅读的兴趣,还能提高他的语言交际能力。“互动阅读”利用书中的文字或图片与孩子展开问答。比如阅读绘本时,家长可以根据图片问孩子"看到了什么",“故事人物发生了什么事”, “人物碰到的问题解决了吗”等开放式的问题。
互动阅读正是 EMOTI Talking-Pen 提供的基本功能之一。使用EMOTI Talking-Pen, 孩子可以在2-3岁就开始阅读, 即使不识字, 孩子也可以主动的学习 。
