Customer Review: not what I expected at all
Summary: 2 Stars
This translator came in torn wrapping, which was taped closed. So,obvious that it was used. The item was supposed to be brand new in the original packaging. Yeah right! There was even dirt on the electronic dictionary and some of the adhesives have been peeled off leaving residue on the front and back of the item. And,the display lighting is very poor and in low light settings, it is nearly impossible to see the text. It comes with a talking option for pronuciation but the volume, even on max, is so soft, you need to hold it up to your ear to hear it. Look for some other spanish-english dictionary (It does not allow you to input phrases or sentences to transalte, but it does provide some useful phrases which are already stored in the item.)Customer Review: great translator
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best translators I have had. It has more words and phrases than most and I like the fact that when you type in an English word it gives you the direct word in Spanish and also phrases that are related to it. A lot of people complained about dim screens (probably because when you first turn it on you have to adjust the contrast which is very easy to do) and poor sound, but the one I have works just fine. This translator contains idioms, which a lot of dictionaries don't have, which helps me even now that I am almost fluent. I did have to agree with one of the other reviewers about the flap. It came off within a few months of having it, but that really doesn't bother me because when you close it, it will stay on.Customer Review: Muy bien!
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I are in Language School studying Spanish this year and we each have one of these. We use them all the time and really love them. The Franklin BES-1850 seems to have most every word we need as well as the conjugation of verbs and several other features, too. The back light for the screen could be better but for the most part that is not a big issue. I would definitely buy another one without hesitation. We've had the one Franklin for probably 5 years or so and it is still perfectly fine. My husband uses it just about every day --in fact he just looked up a word while I was typing this review! We like the cover feature and it has held up all these years without a problem. So enjoy!Customer Review: Dissatified
Summary: 1 Stars
I am truly dissatified with this 'Franklin BES - 1850 Speaking Spanish/English Electionic Dictionary. When I recieved this instrument it was not what I expected for nearly a cost of $100. I had already destroyed the package and did not believe that I could return it to you. I would like to sell it back to you, if possible. It does not really work that well and some of the words I chose for pronounciation was not included electronically in the dictionary. My main purpose was to pronounce words more proficent, but now I am still using my paper back dictionary. I am very sorry I purchased this instrument and I feel like I am stuck with this product. Can I return this back for refund?Customer Review: Franklin BES-1850
Summary: 1 Stars
This Franklin product is not worth even looking at. It does not performed as advertised and you more time being frustrated then you will ever get any assistance. Franklin needs to decide whether it wants to be in today's technology and either be a PDA or pocket PC, or stop trying to compete in this market. Their products are misleading in advertising what they are supposed to be for, and really not even worth looking at for most fields. I believe you can do better with multiple other products that are more technologically advanced, and can meet today's needs and challenges. I would highly avoid this company's products in the future. It will just mean an extra drive to return it.
