General information
Readioo turns books into interactive adventures. We offer a 100% screen-free reading experience that stimulates reading interest and contributes to language development in children. By using our product Readioo 1.0 and tapping on images or texts, children can discover spoken words, sounds and music.
Using Readioo 1.0 is easy. Just follow these three steps:
- Press the on/off button and wait for the start-up sound.
- If you need to adjust the volume, press the +/- buttons.
- Gently tap the compatible product with the tip of the reading pen and hear the sound played.
Curious about how the technology works?
The reading pen identifies small codes printed on the book pages and plays the corresponding sound. Therefore, it only works with products that are specially adapted for the technology.
No, absolutely not. The codes are simply part of the standard four-color printing process and contain nothing different from what you would find in a regular children's book.
All our books are printed within the EU at reputable printing houses using environmentally friendly, high-quality paper and inks. 🌱📚
Recommended for children aged 1½ years and up. No upper age limit. However, they are most popular among preschoolers.
Readioo usage
1. Connect the Readioo reading pen to your computer using the included USB-C cable 🖥️
2. Click here to access the audio file. Download the audio file to your computer. 📂
3. Open the Readioo reading pen's window and open the BOOK folder. Drag or copy the file from Downloads. Wait until the transfer is complete before disconnecting the device from your computer ✅
Our Readioo 1.0 reading pen comes with a USB-A cable (standard USB). If your computer only has USB-C ports (which some new models may have), you will need to use a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
These adapters are available at most electronics stores and usually cost a small amount. We recommend using a quality adapter to ensure a stable connection - poorer quality adapters may result in data not being transferred correctly.
Please note that many USB-C to USB-C cables do not have data transfer functionality or do not communicate properly with the pen - which will result in the download not working.
Don't worry :) We have tested several different cables on the market and can recommend one from IKEA that only costs 19 SEK – it works great both for downloading audio files and for charging the reading pen.
Adapter (USB-A to USB-C)
No, it's completely free to download the audio files! The only thing you need to pay for is Readioo 1.0 and the books you want to read.

Support and returns
Yes! There is a manual included with every order of Readioo 1.0. We recommend that you try tapping the manual to see what happens.
The digital version of the manual is also available here .
Use the included USB-C cable with a charger that does not exceed 5V / 1A. Avoid using fast chargers, as they may damage the reading pen.
Here’s how to check if it’s charging properly:
- Charging: the indicator light stays solid green 🟢
- Fully charged: the light turns off ⚪
- Wrong charger: the light may flash or not turn on at all ⚠️ (charging will not work in this case)
If you are unsure which charger to use, simply connect the USB-C cable to your computer — it will always work.
If your reading pen is not working properly, it may be necessary to reset it. For example, if:
- it does not turn on when you press the power button
- does not charge
- does not appear on the computer when connected
Think of it as a restart, similar to how you sometimes need to restart a computer when you have technical problems.
Here's how to reset your reading pen:
Just below the volume button, hidden under the silicone cover, there is a small hole - this is the reset button. Use a thin, pointed object and press into the hole for a few seconds.
🔄 Please note: A reset will not delete any audio files from your reading pen.
If the problem persists after restarting, we encourage you to contact our customer service - customerservice@readioo.com.

Lost the included cable? Look here!
We have tested several different cables on the market and can highly recommend the one from IKEA – it works great for both charging and downloading. You can buy it directly from IKEA – here is the link: SEAT WELL USB-A to USB-C
We have also tested two variants from Biltema that work well: USB cable 1m , USB cable 2m .
Which charger should I use?
To charge the pen, always use the included USB-A to C cable together with a charger of max. 5 V, 1 A, a common model for small electronic products such as decorative lighting.
👉 Avoid fast chargers, e.g. for some mobile phones (often USB-C to C cables). The connector may look the same, but the power is higher and can cause the pen not to charge properly – or in the worst case, damage the battery.
A simple tip: if you are unsure, connect the cable directly to your computer. It always works and is completely safe. 💙
Here's how you can tell if it's charging normally:
- Charging: the indicator light stays solid green 🟢
- Fully charged: the light turns off ⚪
- Wrong charger: the light may flash or not turn on at all ⚠️ (charging will not work in this case)
