Easy to use and my wife likes it

Good for my daughter

Besides coming damaged I tried it out and I felt like you had to get pretty close to the actual spelling of a word rather than phonetic spelling. I put in “tho” for the word “though” and it didn’t suggest it. I put in “cood” for “could” and it didn’t get that one either. It did get “what” when I put in “wut” but it was fairly far down on the suggestion list. I didn’t try other features because it was too damaged to navigate options. I got it for my 5th grader who has a tough time with spelling and I don’t think it will be the right fit for my phonetic speller.

I have NOT gotten this Dictionary to work, it will not even turn on. It is a worthless piece of crap to me. It may be wonderful to every one else, but not to me.

Well, …it does not have a lot of words that I ask too define Yet, …it does define many others And …it should display a light within the display window Other than that …it works well Amen

I was needing a quick reference dictionary, instead of, having to scroll through pages of a hard cover dictionary. A great electronic dictionary for the material I am reviewing. And has 380,000 words. Thank you!

I think there are probably better dictionaries out there. Functional but nothing special.

I purchased a similar item in 1986, It is still working (Franklin Computer Language Master. I purchased the Lexibook because it had additional features- e.g. Currency & Metric Converters. My major problem with this item-that I have not been able to use all the upper symbols except only through the calculator (+- and the number keys). Most of the words entered I received a response "Word is not in the word list".) e.g. Electrocultural- It is a new word probably when Lexibook was developed It was not a word found in any dictionary. --Using the Franklin I receive at least two suggestion- electrocuting electrocution. This item does not give me any hints as to possible words.

1 am comparing this dictionary to the, unfortunately discontued, Sharp PW -300 dictionary, that has partly malfunctioned after many years of usage. If tha Sharp was a Rolls - Royce then the Lexibook D650EN- 09 is equal to a three wheel bicycle. It is a dictionary, in my opinion, for very small children just learning English. It has such a small number of words in its memory. I get so many messages that the word I have chosen is not available. I use the dictionary for spelling and infomation as to the words origin. The sharp can tell you more information about the word that you would care to know. Lexibook gives little or no examples to explain the words meaning. Unfortunately one does not know how bad a device like this is until you begin to use it. Normally I would return this item, but once the Sharp's dictionary finally expires, what is there to replace it. The Lexibook is more than a dicionary, if it had spent more effort on the dictionay and less on the other features it may have become a better dictionary.

Easy to use. Quality is great. Great value for money. Size is good. And versatility is good too.

Disappointed with this. Doesn’t recognize words to spell for my gr 3 granddaughter, When typing in a phonetically it doesn’t recocognise basic words. They would take it back but the return address is in England. I have to pay postage…..this would cost as much as the device…. Think before you purchase if you live on a different continent than Europe.

a useful machine but perhaps the contrast adjuster could be a bit better.

I like the look and colour of this model but the reading area is let down by the colours and contrast feature which is yellowy blue. Very difficult for someone with poor eyesight. It needs to be black on white or white on black. I returned the item for this reason.
