Franklin Collins English Digital Dictionary Express Edition - Electronic Dictionary, Your Language Companion with Thesaurus, Games & Converters - Dictionary with Synonyms and Antonyms

Over all I have to say it works for what I bought it for. My grandson was using his tablet to look up the definition and spelling of words. But, when I wasn't in the room he gets side tracked with videos or ads that would pop up. Ironically, the dictionary he had doesn't always have an easy explanation for a second grader in defining words that they can understand. I have found that this is working great we've had it for about 2 weeks now. There are only 2 dislikes. 1) is the size; I wish it was a bit larger. On the box that the owner uses to advertise it You can see that it looks like a good size. You could see by the picture that it's not very big at all. 2) Is if it was black on white meaning the background in white and the writing in black. However, it's an older model so it's bluish black lettering on a green background. But it gives you the definition and it also has a thesaurus that works great as well. I would recommend it to anybody looking for a quick way to help when spelling and finding the meanings to words for first grade to adulthood.

Other than the small size, this is a nice item. I'd be willing to pay more if this device had a larger footprint.

It's a bit too small, it works, but you've got to have little fingers

It's disappointingly small, only 2.5" x 4" with a .5" x 2.25" screen and cramped keypad. No spellcheck in case you misspell the word you're looking up, and the text is limited to one short line so you have to scroll down like crazy. However, it's loaded with spelling games, math stuff, etc. Would I buy it again? No.

This device is smaller than a deck of cards, thinner, it has a very small screen, and the keys are extremely tiny. I've used it for a few weeks now, and invariably I have to revert to a paper dictionary. Its data base of words is too small for my needs. It doesn't easily accept words entered with slight misspellings. The actual definitions consist of very few words most of the time. If I enter a word that I'm not familiar with, this dictionary returns 'sorry can't help' most of the time. Another annoying attribute is when I turn it on, I enter the first letter of my word, and that triggers the unit to ask for me to "Enter a word", instead of taking the letter I just punched in. So I have to punch it in again. Some good things about this dictionary: it is very small, and fits in your shirt pocket. That's it. I have no need of a Thesaurus, so I can't comment on that feature. One other thing: The inside of the lid has hints printed on how to use the dictionary. The font size is so small, I cannot read any of it even with my glasses. So this device is not user friendly for the elderly (that would be me).

Use it daily when reading finding words I do not understand. Also, for doing crossword puzzles.

I purchased this dictionary to be my bedside dictionary because I am against sleeping with my phone in the bedroom. Three of the first four words I looked up were not even included. These 3 words are in my other dictionaries. The first word was "chthonic" and the dictionary had no idea what that word was. The next two words I don't recall, but they were also Greek-based words that are in English dictionaries. For these two the machine just thought I made a spelling error, which I did not, and it suggested other words. The "definitions" are weak as well. Most of the ones I looked up are defined in 6 words or less. Not very helpful if you have a college degree.

This is a great buy. My son loves this electronic dictionary. Such fun for him to learn new words

This is a good product however it stopped working after less than 1 year. I have no idea why. We put in a fresh Duracell battery too. Very disappointed. I had this growing up 30 years ago and that unit lasted decades. Build quality has decreased!

Bought to replace an older one that died through old age! In regular use.Comprehensive. Other makes may have slightly bigger screens.Type more or less same size.

Easy to carry with word games for children.

good product

コンパクトで軽く持ち運びには良いのですが、記述内容が簡素過ぎます。ちょっとした単語や熟語は調べられず、座右に置いて使うのには殆ど向かないと感じます。現在持っている同じFranklinの電子辞書は落として蓋の部分が壊れてしまったので、本品を買ったのですが、正直の処買わなければ良かったと反省しています。
