Customer comments on this selection.
 Franklin dictionary a great resource
This dictionary is not only a great resource for the English language but features a capability to include a second dictionary.
The functions of this device are designed for speed and accuracy. The price is competitive and delivery is fast.
I would not hesitate to recommend this dictionary.
 Junk!!! I would give Zero star if I could
I could not believe such low quality and bulky design of the dictionary when I received it. I bought it for my kid to check definition and pronunciation. It did not work well from day 1. Keys were stuck all time and turn off every moment when you have slight motion or shaking. I fixed the battery cover to solve part of the problem. After 9 months, it died finally.
This is a piece of junk. Do not waste your money and time on it.
On the other hand, shopping on Amazon is always super.
Terrible
I ordered this item because my father has one that he had bought over 20 years ago and which is still going strong today - I think it still has the original batteries in it! So I thought I'd get a new Franklin electronic dictionary with the "speaking" feature. Like always with Amazon, the ordering and shipping processes were a breeze, my new dictionary arrived promptly and I was eager to put it through its paces. I was extremely disappointed with my purchase. First, the "speaking" feature is an absolute joke, with every word sounding like incomprehensible gibberish. The buttons are small and awkward to operate, and finally the unit just plain quit working after a few minutes. The unit promptly went back into its box and shipped back to Amazon for an immediate refund, so at least no money was lost in the transaction. But what happened to Franklin in the intervening 20 years to cause this precipitous drop in product quality? Outsourcing? Whatever it is, I can not recommend this product to anyone. Amazon, on the other hand, shines as always.
Grandson is Thrilled
My wife bought this same model dictionary about 10 years ago. We have both found it very useful and reliable. We purchased this one for our grandson based on our good experience with the previous one...which still works just fine. He is really thrilled with it and has been showing me some of the capabilities like the "learn" color key feature to list new words learned. The "say" feature is very helpful to him to get the correct pronunciation when he encounters a new word. I find it much quicker for myself that getting the Webster out of the bookcase or looking it up on Google.
Wonderful!
this is a tremendous help when learning phonics without the help of a professional teacher. it is definately a must have!
