 Rating:  - lackluster i've had many franklin dictionaries in the past that worked great but this one leaves a funny feeling; unsatisfied. the soft keys are more difficult to use than the harder ones on other older models. there's no cover, the right speaker is a fake covered up by a sticker now but i don't really need it to speak. it's electronic voice is awful and the volume has to be turned up for you to hear. if it wasn't for the fact that it had the most word definitions for electronic dictionaries, i wouldn't have ...

I sent an email to m-kat@rambler.ru on 9-13-08 but no reply. It was not rejected. Very deceitful service. Charles Kirk Rating: - Speaking DictionaryFor the buck you pay, this speaking dictionary seems reasonable. This has Thesaurus, Dictionary, Grammar and Word builder games etc. Calculator, unit conversion and clock function are extra nice features. This is little bulky to carry. Sound is not of very good quality. I did not like the pronunciation generated on this dictionary, not that much clear. I wish I had bought non speaking dictionary with nice phonetic symbols for pronunciation instead of faulty speaking system. ... Read More Rating:  - Needs improvementNo protective cover and obviously most people have the same sound problem with it. It makes a noise while pronouncing a word, specially at a higher volume. This dictionary is very sensitive to shock,it is not even safe in your backpack. If these problems are solved, I will buy the next one from Franklin again, even at a higher price, because the pros outweigh the cons. www.bigpetsupply.com www.bulkbuysonline.com Rating: - Good productI loved this product. I just wish the screen was easier to read at times. Browse for similar items by category:
