  • My Computer companion
I use it next to my computer. When I am in a word program & don't want to save & do a search, the Franklin Dictionary is very hepful. I also carry it in my purse. When one of my grandchildren, (ages 6-14) ask me a meaning of a word, I give them the Franklin to look the word up. & decide on which meaning is appropriate. ... show more

  • ~HARD TO READ~
When I was in School my Family got me The Franklin Dictionary & Thesaurus Computer, it was in 1987 over 25 years ago. I still have it and still works although a little outdated. After looking at dozens of Advanced Dictionary & Thesaurus I decided to get this one, Franklin Electronics Merriam-Webster's Advanced Dictionary and Thesaurus. Well, that was a mistake, I find it to be too small for me just under half the size of my old one, it measures 5 Inches Long by 3.3 Inches Wide and the Screen measures 3.2 Inches Long by about 1.1 Inches Wide. The Screen is Hard to Read I have to Tilt the Unit certain way to be able to read it, over a Dark Greenish Background with Blue Lettering Font, Not even Black Color, if you have 20/20 Vision God Bless you otherwise you will have Problems The Shape of the Unit is Awkward, The Design is Awkward and the Protective Lid is very Annoying The Hard Cover made to Protect the Electronic Dictionary has two screws to fasten in the back of the Unit to keep it secure, even like that it gets on my way, so I fold the Lid under the Unit to control it. When the Unit is on and If I don't use it after 5 Minutes it turns itself Off, I wish it would stay on for good, till I'm done and ready, so I keep clicking the "On" Button located on the right side of the Unit every time to check on another word. It has 7 Books in One, you can read all about that on The Product Details. The Automatic Shutoff can be set up under Settings from 1 to 5 Minutes, that is the Longest Time. The Franklin Electronic Dictionary also has many Games: Anagrams, Hangman, Jumble, World Builder, World Train, 1 Player Link Four, 2 Player Link Four, 1 Player Tic Tac Toe and 2 Player Tic Tac Toe, I don't Play any of them Specially in such Small Screen. Believe it or not I do like the Clock it has nice Big Numbers, Home Time and World Time, and very easy to set up. The 5 Language Translator is very limited, it does not have many words, and so many of them I already knew, Example: "House" in various languages: Casa, Maison, Haus, Casa (Italian the same)...or "Eat": Comer, Manger, Essen, Mangiare...who doesn't know that or how to say "Beautiful" in Spanish: Bonito, or in Italian: Bello...The 5 Language Translator is a Joke, I thought it would be more Sophisticated than that! If you have a Kid, Fourth or Third Grader or younger this Electronic Dictionary would be perfect for Them! The Franklin Dictionary arrived very Fast in a Great Big Hermetical Sealed Plastic Container, I kept looking for any Tools to Pry Open the Hard Plastic Box. If I could I would send it back unfortunately I had totally Destroyed the Thick Plastic Container in my effort to open it. I am been very Generous by giving it 3 Stars! ...Thank You D.D. ... show more

  • Better than expected

  • Do not waste your time or money on this product
It is a piece of crap. I could not turn it on so I checked to see if batteries were included. It wasn't clear if batteries were included or not. I got a special screw driver so I could check. Taking out the battery was a chore unto itself. I put it back in and the machine actually turned on. I was amazed. I then attempted to follow the convoluted instructions which was an arduous affair. As I suspected I had no luck in the device functioning. I had a similar device previously and it was a "piece of cake' to operate and was functional for a considerable amount of time. I was extremely pleased. I had called Franklin Electronics who sold the unit but they never answered the phone or retuned my numerous calls as their recording said they would. Again my frustration reached new heights after several months and I nearly pulled all my hair out! . No one at your firm was of any help. I could not even get a phone number for customer service either with Franklin or your firm re on how to proceed further. I have 9 yrs of education and my wife is a genius and we still couldn't figure it out. I am still interested in purchasing a functioning device similar with a dictionary and thesaurus. I would be extremely interested in hearing from other prospective customers. Beware of their products! Couldn't wait to return this product! ... show more

  • Excellent
Very similar to the older version that my husband had. He uses it for his crossword puzzles.

  • SCREEN VERY DIFFICULT TO READ - GREAT OTHERWISE
PROS: The size is great, and this dictionary was just what I had hoped it would be in terms of content. It has a larger content of words than my abridged "pocket" dictionary (paperback sized but very thick) and is small enough to leave at the bedside when I read at night. CONS: As has been mentioned by others, this is VERY HARD TO READ. I have reset word size and lighting, but to be honest, I think the only place this would be good for me to see would be outdoors with great light. There is hardly any angle I can find using the bedside light that allows me to clearly the content on the screen clearly. Also, as mentioned elsewhere in other reviews, the top most line is even harder to see than the lower ones. OTHER THOUGHTS: I will continue to use this until I find a replacement with a better screen. I was hoping to avoid similar sized devices with flip open screens (greater screen size) due to the frailty of connections through hinges but think that is where I'll have to go next to find a better screen. That's too bad because this device would get 5-Stars except for the hard-to-read screen. ... show more

  • Retro e-Dictionary Still Shines
What a find! The Franklin dictionaries traditionally had one of the most enjoyable anagram games around. There is nothing as good for any smart phone or computer that I have ever seen. Our 15 year old Franklin was wearing out, with buttons that stuck or didn't work. While this is not the same model we had, it still has the same games, which makes it well worth the investment. ... show more
