Customer Reviews

The first hard to get review it seems
I just got it finally and I previosly bought a Franklins BES 1945(Pure rubbish had to give it away) hard to read annoying and very basic. So I decided to try this one and yes there is a big difference in price landed in Australia, but Yes I like it a lot,the screen is much better than the frankin Bes 1945, but still not the greatest to read, but good enough and has a constant back light and looks much cooler as well.
But the Gem is the Larousse dictionary. This is stunning!!! It even had translations for the word: Concha, which I have heard often in intimate encounters in south america. In other words its not a christian dictionary like Websters, god bless the french for being practical and intellectual at the same time-gots lots of functions. , I highly recommend this product.

Best on the market
This is not simply the Franklin 1470 in a different container, as one commenter claims. The 1470 contains the Merriam-Webster Spanish Dictionary, while this contains the Larousse Concise Spanish English Dictionary, which is much better.

This is by far the best electronic Spanish-English dictionary on the market at the moment and worth the extra bucks. My only complaint is that when using the Merriam-Webster English dictionary, which is also on this unit, it automatically switches back to the Larousse dictionary after switching off, instead of remaining where is was between shutoffs. That's annoying if want to keep using the English dictionary. However, if you use a Bookman card, it returns to that after shutoffs as it should.

Expectations
This was a nice piece of equipment. However, I was looking for a device that would translate sentences. This device does not. However, it was useful in translating basic phrases and words.
