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

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.

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).

Received this item. Works fine OK except it tries to put two sentences on a very thing screen. Can`t hardly read. Can replace battery when needed ?

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

works good, very satisfied..

its a good dictionary. But useless because you are putting too much stress on your eyes. The display screen is like 1 CM by 5 CM. and the whole thing can fit in your palm. I ordered so my 8 year old can practice some spellings. I will return it because I do not want it to affect her eye sight.

franklin makes a great dictionary in every way. I have had to use one for years. they are easy to use .

Readability, good value, usefulness.

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!

Easy to carry with word games for children.

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。

small but easy to use and to read. Great for doing crossword puzzles
