A handy tool for successThis is my second Franklin Speaking Dictionary. I just moved up to the collegiate edition because I am now a freshman in college. I found this tool useful in high school and, one week into classes, it has already proven to be invaluable. A great buy for school, business, any endeavor that requires writing and comprehension.
FRANKLIN SPEAKING WEBSTER DICTIONARYNOT A VERY EASY PRODUCT TO USE...THEY SHLD MAKE IT A LOT MORE SIMPLE FOR SUCH A TASK OF JUST LOOKING UP WORDS.
electronic dictionary with large vocabularyI use it mostly for Scrabble Slam. People quit using the hardcopy and rely on the quick decision of my electronic dictionary.
Poorly built deviceIt just came in the mail. Overall impression, it appears really inexpensively built. When you try to open the screen portion, it makes a little noise (as if there are grains of sand there) and it does not open smoothly. Device does not appear to be able to withstand "rough life" in a bag filled with books. It will probably need a small protective compartment of some sort. I had a hard time inserting the battery properly; the little lid would not close. I finally did manage to close the lid, but because of the tiny compartment that fits the batteries, it gets a little tricky. Main concern, after the initial hassle of fitting the batteries correctly, is that the lid with the screen still does not open smoothly. I get this uneasy feeling that something will break.
On the positive note, it does look cute and is very small. It would be simply perfect if it was not built so cheaply.
Better and worse in some waysCompared to its predecessor, pronunciation is much clearer, but it does not present any alternative if the word you look up is not found.
