I preferred its Spanish translations to the Franklin's, as it had several different ways to use each word (when applicable)--granted, the Franklin could translate 5 languages. And had games.Nice and quick to use, quick to learn the functions, and very, very convenient for school. But I like it because it's a good way to find new words and such. It also has two different font-sizes.The main things I like about this though are that the keyboard is easy to type on, and when you search for a word, it's kind of like flipping through a dictionary (it's hard to explain). After 3 years of heavy use, it finally konked out, and I tried replacing with a similar Franklin model, but found its layout cumbersome and inconvenient. I absolutely love this little gadget. On the Sharp, however, I like that the 3 different dictionaries are easily accesible, the rest of the options can be accessed by other nearby buttons, and the backlight is a really nice feature--so there's no need to flip through a lot of menus. If only it had more words.It looks okay, and the lid is easy to flip open when you need it quick, and it has a nice puzzle solver/geography section.
There's nothing much to say except that it's an awesome product and very helpful when needed. :)
Oxford has long been my favorite. I like dictionaries and own several in book form. It's worth every penny of the after rebate price. It is very straightforward to use and the keyboard is large enough to ensure that you only hit one key most of the time. This portable little gadget makes a nice addition to my arsenal and is great for quick look-ups.I've been playing with the Geographic Dictionary and it contains more information than I expected.
If you don't know the word. Insert a word and it comes up with many selections to choose from. how can you select one.
All in all, I'm pretty impressed with, especially for what I paid. Some of the keys are non-intuitive (there's no space bar, for example; you just leave it out). It's a little confusing to used at first, but once you get the hang of it, it really works pretty well. I find myself going back to the manual to use the more advanced features however. The screen is difficult to read in all but the brightest light unless you turn on the backlight.
