This is a good product, will serve any future buyer well. Great transaction. Note that the word search doesn't seem to work in the quotations section. But the item has a real good dictionary.


3 out of 5 stars Could Sound Better   May 9, 2008

Franklin SCD-1890 Speaking Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 11th EditionThis product is wonderful but could be better if speaking could be more pronounced and understood especially when using tool for Spelling Bee. The mechanical sound distorts the word.

Got this for my wife and she love it too. But the speaking dictionary does sound a bit robotic to me. I am not the user of this unit so I gave it a 5 star cause that's what my wife said she would rate it. Personally, I would give it a 4 star.


1 out of 5 stars Not a good purchase by any means   February 29, 2008

If I could put negative number of starts, I'd gladly do so.
Either it was bad choice of manufacturing partner or prematurely released product or both.

Device locks up dead when you try playing built-in Letrix game.
The thing cannot be turned off when it happens. You have either to take out batteries or find a pin and push it into a small hole in the bottom to reset it.

As another reviewer indicated before, the right speaker is a hoax (either there is nothing there or it doesn't work). Sound out of the remaining left speaker is horrendous. Sound in the headphones is no better, which suggests that sound processor is a chip dirt poor quality piece of silicon.

All the built-it games have only one level of difficulty - beginner.

Random word generator is a joke. It can generate the same word many times in a row.

I tried two of them (though the first one was defective). But the second one behaved absolutely the same.

So, either Franklin has some serious issues with product quality, or Amazon is selling "dumpster" batch of SCD-1890's.

And yes, don't be fooled by the picture of the item. What appears to be black on gray text is a decal. In reality text is blue on gray, which indeed in not as readable as black on gray would be.
