Franklin Electronic Spanish/English Dictionary Reviews
and did not even recognize it as a word; however, I did find the verb "sow". For example the English noun "sower" could not be found (.). In this day and age, I doubt it that the games included in the dictionary can compete with other electronic games out there. This gadget also includes verb conjugations which I consider very useful. This dictionary has a lot of information packed into a slim case. Translating from English to Spanish or viceversa is a breeze.
It doesn't matter if the user is a native English or Spanish speaker since it only takes a press of a button to switch language modes. I think this is a limitation of the Merriam webster dictionary included in the Franklin electronic dictionary. My suggestion is to remove the games and increase the vocabulary. I did not give it a five star rating becuase there were some words that were not in the dictionary.
It just defies common sense as to why anyone would design such a difficult to see screen. By far the biggest drawback is the pathetic LCD screen which is unexcusably difficult to read. If it were not for the screen, I would have given this a 4 star rating. The Franklin Electronic Spanish-English dictionary is a reasonably good product.Franklin Electronic Spanish/English Dictionary Most words that I look for are found, but my paper back dictionary sometimes has more useful and easy to understand definitions.
I hope that the next time, is successful. By an error in the delivery (in the hotel), I could not obtain this product.
In some light it's a little hard to see, but you can move it around. This item comes in very handy. I'm very glad I got it, it sure beats carrying around a heavy dictionary.
Definitely worth the price. This is a very convenient aid. I no longer have to carry my dictionary and verb book when leaving the house. It has a pretty amazing dictionary with great examples of how the word is used.
