Use-activated items typically don’t have any activation
times (because they function continually or because you
activate them automatically as part of the action you take to use
the item). Like command word items, use-activated items
usually don’t duplicate spells with long casting times.
Activating a scroll (or any other spell completion item) is “like
casting a spell for purposes of arcane spell failure (such as from
armor)” (see “Activation” on page 238 of the Dungeon
Master’s Guide). An armored rogue who activates a scroll with
Use Magic Device suffers the normal arcane spell failure
chance.

even touch attacks.
