Using not long enough to give out precise review about the product. But in short time of use, I can say it is one of the goods. It's compact, has good features, small button of course, fast respond, dull voice with some words...
By Anne Thompson (Yorkshire)
Up to now Franklin have sent it to us from the US for years as a favour. My husband does the FT weekend crossword every week and has won it often. He has tried all the other similar devices but none have the many features of this one. The only problem is that the encyclopedia cards, even the Encyclopedia Britannica card, are designed for Americans, and even the smallest town in the USA is featured sometimes, when a town of great historic significance elsewhere in the world is omitted.
A new card is needed for non US residents now.

The only drawback, which is inherent in this particular model, is that it tends to lose memory of words that your want it to remember for future reference. I've had other ones exactly like this one in the past, and they all had the same defect. The reason this isn't my first one is that the other ones got wet somehow or another, like coffee spills, etc. and the inside glass becomes difficult to read, as they are not waterproof. Other than that, it's an excellent product.

Like other users have stated, it could use a back light, the keys are not always user friendly( sometime you press on the key nothing and sometime it's fine), it's missing words that should be in such an extensive dictionary, and it's definitely cheaply made. Not only does it look cheap, but I am finding out that it's also a poorly manufactured device! I try not to judge a book by its cover, but in this case I should have, don't make the same mistake I did. One hundred twenty-four dollars down the drain.
I don't use this product that often because I usually use the online dictionary, but when I do use it, I do use the voice feature. From my experience the voice feature drains your batteries. I have had the product for less than a month and used it on average 20 times and the voice feature is done. At first I thought it was malfunctioning, but it was the battery. IT'S a waste! And the extra stuff they give you to increase the price isn't worth it either!
If you don't need a speaking feature, DON'T waste your money on this product brand, it is NOT WORTH THE DISAPPOINTMENT.

This is the second one of these we've bought. My wife lost her first one after a year of using it and loving it. She was pretty sad when she lost it. So I got her the exact same model for Christmas. She is very happy with it!. She reads a lot and has this by her side to look up and hear any unfamiliar words. It really has made her happy to have it back.
I personally have one nit to pick: the spoken word that comes from it is pretty mechanical and a bit tinny. But besides that, we're very happy with it.
