Franklin Electronic Dictionary and Thesaurus Organizer Reviews
I recommend it. It is a great replacement for the big paper dictionaries and thesaurus and, while not complete (no paper or electronic dictionary is), it has more than 85% of definitions for words searched for. It is very user-friendly, battery-efficient and light-weight. This product has been working perfectly since it was delivered.
It helps him with his German class as well as his writing. It's much more appealing than a stack of reference books for a teenager. Our son carries this to school every day.
Other than that, the dictionary is good, but sometimes is a little slow. I am going to return it and get a replacement. I would buy the Sharp dictionary, but it is two times as expensive and is not worth it. I bought this dictionary a couple of days ago and it is already broken. The problem is that it restarts by itself and erases all the user memory randomly, from time to time, for no apparent reason.
Good buy. This is much better than having to haul a heavy dictionary around. The language features also come in handy.
Besides missing tons of words, surprise. This model has tons of features but the old clunky was much easier to operate. Some upgrade. I got this to upgrade from my clunky older electronic dictionary. I am thinking of using my Mozilla Internet Dictionary, or going for the Oxford CD Rom.
It lacked five words from a Woody Allen book, several from Bill Bryson, some from Thurston Clarke. My old clunky electronic dictionary was doing okay but I had upgraders syndrome and went for this one. Maybe someday these manufacturers will realize that when some of us go to buy a dictionary, we expect to find words in it, instead of games and five-language translators. This was a cruel blow.
I just gave up trying to find anything. Wrong mover. I would gladly have my old clunky back, but it went to the Goodwill Store. For the price and its claims I expected much more.
There is just no substitute for a good dictionary. The lid is really hard to open and I have considered just tearing it off. It does not, like the older model, give the word derivations.
