rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author henry_thoreau - I don't precisely recall the year, but sometime in the early nineties I purchased this electronic speaking dictionary. At the time, the combination of a respectably sizable (albeit far from unabridged) lexicon and its "speaking" ability made it...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mchi - Back in high school, when I was studying for the SATs, this came in very handy. Whenever I saw a word that I did not know, I would type it into the dictionary, and it would give me the definition promptly. If I spelled it wrong, it would find...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author tgregoryt - I formerly used a pocket-sized S
panish-English

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author gschonfeldt - Mine worked well for the first six to twelve months. Then, any new batteries would be sucked up at an outrageous rate. Now, it doesn't work at all. Franklin basically told me they can't do anything for me. If you fork out a few bucks, you would hope...
