Franklin Spelling Ace with Thesaurus Reviews
Especially useful in both the school and working environment when you need to check the spelling of a particular word or look for another way to say a certain word. Nice, compact spelling aid for both student and adults alike.
I did a random test for synonyms, using the words "heard", "bury", "relish" and "wonder". I have a Wordmaster, also manufactured by Franklin. The Spelling Ace produced a total of 19 synonyms for these 4 words. I'm sorry I wasted my money on this product, but fortunately, I still have the old one My 15-year-old Wordmaster gave me me a total of 80. It's about 15 years old, and far superior to this Spelling Ace.
It's much bigger than the others. This one has a big read-out that you can see. What I also really like is after you find the correct spelling it will tell you what the word means. The Franklyn spelling ace is really nice. At first the buttons can be a little confusing.
I liked the one I got him so much that I bought one myself. The one problem I see is that there is an = sign on the enter key & if you push that when you are looking up a word, it blanks out. It truly is a great little spell checker. The buttons are much bigger also. You have to push it on the left side of the enter, not on the whole bar because it will go blank & it will have to be re-set.
Now that I know what I'm doing it works great. I've had to re-set mine 3 times. I purchased it for my Father-in -Law because his was too small & he had a hard time reading it.
The instructions are not clear either. I am happy with it though. It may be a user problem on my end. I bought this item for playing scrabble and it is very good for that, but it is hard to get it out of game mode.
The system took my "half-way" efforts and made a duplicate shipment (corrected). I never heard from anyone. I ordered a model SA-206 Spelling Ace and received an SA-209. Yes, I got another SA-209. I decided to keep both units and will certainly be charged for both; but now I have two more gifts for under the Christmas tree. I called to try to get the mixup corrected and was told that I would have to take care of it on line. I went to the online return system and half-way through it decided that it wasn't worth the trouble and logged off. I called again and was told that I would receive an email on the next day with details concerning availability and how to correct the now-duplicated wrong order.
