 Served the purpose. May 4, 2008
I bought this for an adult ESL student who has never been to formal school, is just beginning to learn English and needed a speaking electronic dictionary. It is much less expensive than the adult version available in the USA (although you can get cheaper ones in China, or possibly on the used goods market) and has a vocabulary of 44000 words. It worked well for her and satisfied her needs, and probably will for a while to come. For kids, it seems like a useful resource till their vocabulary demands a more advanced resource, but hopefully by then they would be reading, writing and speaking fluently enough. For a more advanced ESL learner though I would recommend the Franklin Collegiate Dictionary; its much more extensive.
 My 7 years old loves it March 3, 2008
We got it a couple of weeks ago. My son loves it. Whenever he read, he always have this dictionary next to him. He is learning to study independently, searching answers by himself.
 for kids under 8 better February 23, 2008

we can't find lots of new vocabularies from the dictionery although it's fun for kid to learn by speaking the word out. The only thing I liked it best is that it provides handwriting letters for kids to learn. I suggest that kids under 8 can buy it.
 good tool February 7, 2008

I bought this device because my daughter's school specializing in learning disabilities recommended it. It's deffinitely for the younger crowd since it doesn't have a lot of "big" words. It has a choppy computer voice-which is fine since my kids have not complained about it even though I don't care for it much. You can put any made up spelling word into it and it will give you choices of words to pick from that will be spoken to you. I found one word it didn't recognize- cake. It found "cakes", but not "cake" when I put it in as my son spelled it-kack. If your kid has spelling problems I highly recommend this product, especially if you are tired of spelling everything for them.
Tactile/kinesthetic January 24, 2008

Ideal tool for the tactile/kinesthetic learner or the audio learner. Private word list helps learner concentrate on current week's spelling or reading words. Easy to use. Voice on machine is fine.
