Customer Review: My kid loves it
Summary: 5 Stars
My kid goes to speach therapy. This helps him pronounce/practice words that are difficult for him.
In class he participates more because now he can pronounce more words, his homework is more enjoyable because he is able to search for new words.
Speach therapy is not only about being able to pronounce but also undestand the meaning of the words, if not then he is just memorizing the words without knowing the meaning of them.
The spell checker of word suggestion is good because now I can understand what he is trying to say, when it is too difficult for him to pronounce he looks it up.
Customer Review: long time user

This is our second electronic dictionary. I got it for my sister, who is an adult with Down syndrome. Her first was an older version of the same product, and it lasted for a good 4 years of constant use. She takes it everywhere and uses it every day. The last one finally broke after being dropped, and not for the first time. I really think I got my moneys worth! She finds it easy to use, and she enjoys playing hangman. The vocabulary is limited; I've tried to look up many words that are not included. For a child or a handicapped person like my sister, tho, I think it would work fine.Customer Review: Great Help

This product works very well for my daughter. It gives her more confidence in her writing ability. She can enter words she is not sure how to spell and it offers her word suggestions. This saves her having to ask friends or her teachers. I can enter her spelling and vocab words each week. She is able to look up definitions right on the dictionary.Great Product. The only drawback would be that sometimes the words she enters, it can not offer her suggestions for; based on the fact that her spelling is not close enough. That can sometimes be frustrating for her.Customer Review: Great Item for Teachers!
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this talking dictionary to keep in my teacher's bag as I travel throughout the school district. When a student asks me how to spell a word, I just hand him or her this dictionary. It's operation is intuitive to a second or third grader and older and they love it! The definitions are short and written for kids. It had a volume adjustment and corrections for phonetic spelling. They look forward to my arriving with the "cool dictionary." Great tool for teachers, substitute teachers and parents alike. Very highly recommended!Customer Review: THIS ISNOT A DICTIONARY
Summary: 2 Stars
I BOUGHT ONE FOR MY 10 YEAR OLD FOR CHRISTMAS. IT TELLS YOU HOW TO SPELL A WORD, IT TELLS YOU HOW TO PRONOUCE IT IN SPANISH IF IT'S MALE/FEMALE ETC. BUT IT CANNOT BE USED AS A DICTIONARY TO TELL YOU THE MEANING OF A WORD. IT ONLY TOLD US THE DEFINATION OF 1 WORD OUT OF ALL THE WORDS WE ENTERED. WE HAD TO PURCHASE ANOTHER ITEM TO GET US WHAT WE WANT.
PS-WE ALREADY OWN SEVERAL DICTIONARIES WE JUST WANTED SOMETHNG THAT WOULD HELP QUICKEN THE PACE WHILE DOING HOMEWORK.
