handy dandy thesaurus

This is an item that is hard to be without once you've had one. It is a great help in preparing to teach the adult Sunday School class. When it accidently got dropped and was not functioning, a replacement was needed. Glad it was still available. It also helps a poor speller write correctly.

Franklin goes backwards, the voice is worse then 15 years ago

I bought a similar product 15 years ago. The voice was much natural and pleasent to listen. Last year, I bought a new one, the voice is so electronic makes me sick. I called Franklin,"Shame on you at today's high tech era".No more in my life. ever, never again.

Re-purchase

This is the second I buy, this time for someone else. This speaking dictionary is practical, non-obtrusive, and at the right price. As a writer, I highly recommend it.

Pretty good for the price

It's a pretty good speaking dictionary for the price. The prononsiation and the screen quality could be better but overall is an ok handy dictionary.

Owned one for years

I am surprised that this dictionary is still being sold -- with all the high tech tools available. I purchased one about 5 years ago for my kids who were in grade school, they're now in high school and are still using it. Sometimes a definition is not clear so they need to use a real dictionary...
