 Basic Thrills January 12, 2008
Years ago, when I was in college. I purchased a Franklin Language Master LM4000. It was the greatest. It lasted about 20 years. It was far superior to this new model and less pricy. I'm not impressed with this model at all, but it will have to do until they make another that will satisfy my needs like in the days gone by.

This is my second unit after I gave the first one to my wife. Although I cannot rate it excellent in every aspect, I can say this is a very useful tool. I like it especially for the opportunity to review pronunciation in a very simple way. It sounds a little bit weird, but it is acceptable.
The display contrast ratio does not always allow good reading conditions and the speaker volume is not too high, but the possibility to use headphones improves the understandability of the spoken words.
The possibility to carry a dictionary and a thesaurus in a very portable unit turns this device into a very useful tool, and it is definitely worth the money.
Good buy December 20, 2007
Bought this and it turned out really good. Was a lot of functionality at really cool price. The reading aloud feature also worked well for the dictionary.
 my_view December 14, 2007
This is a fairly decent electronic dictionary that I've found useful.
It isn't exactly compact, but small enough to be carried around.
The lcd of this device can be easily scratched. I've once put this is in
my bag and rode my bicycle. Once I got to my destination and took out
elec. dic. I noticed that the lcd part was some what scratched, a case would of been nice. Overall I find that this device does what it's suppose to.
Not perfect, but pretty darn good December 5, 2007

Pros: Compact, Lightweight, Good internal library, Excellent display
Cons: Poor speaking feature, Mooshy keys
Combines all the English references anybody needs in a compact, useful, handy design (I just grabbed it to check whether useful had two Ls.). I don't know what battery life is like, but experience with other Franklin products leads me to believe it will be more than adequate, especially considering there is no backlight. And, speaking of backlight, the screen is good, even when using the smallest type in dim light. The only downsides are a soft keyboard and garbled/slurred speaker. I don't use the speaking function, but, still, it's there and I might. I have to listen a couple of times and, even then, I'm not sure unless I look at the word on the screen. And the keyboard is soft. The keys themselves are rubber and, though of a good size, don't always register unless I take time to double check. The lack of hard keys with a nice, crisp click prevent this from being a 5-star recommendation.
