Excellent Investment

Excellent product! I have used this dictionary for almost five years now. It is easy to use, informative, and has withstood being dropped countless times. It has very good learning tools to help you expand your vocabulary. The "speak" tool has helped me fix words I had mispronounced my whole life. I love it...worth the money.

A Must-Have For Word Lovers

I'll never forget now the day I received my electronic dictionary. It has changed my life. My mother bought me the Franklin SCD-1870 Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and I was in awe of this handheld device which looked like a little notepad but functioned like a computer. I spent that night and the next day looking up every single word I could think of, even the ones I was familiar with. I would link myself from word to word and started building up my word list and looking up new words and studying the SAT Word List. I loved pronouncing the difficult words and the batteries that came with the dictionary lasted for 18 months before the computer told be it was on low battery, and this was after using the device nearly every single day. I love saving words in the Word List, although sometimes the list is erased if you leave the device out in an extreme temperature, so be careful and make back-ups. The games serve their purpose and I don't have a problem reading the text. This works pretty quickly if you are typing in a word that the computer matches identically, but you have to wait a bit if you type in a word that is spelled incorrectly. The asterisk and question mark function helps out a lot though if you are not sure how a word is spelled. This is highly recommended and it is definitely one of those products that makes me wonder how I ever went without it. I need it by my side at all times now.

A Friend Forever

I have had The Franklin model SCD-1870 for several years now. I'm so grateful and happy with it I'm compelled to say a few words about it.

Two AAA batteries I put in several years ago and it still works! And I use the dictionary pretty much every day. As others have noted both the LCD and the speech are clear. Vocabulary capacity is more than enough. It comes with a lot more than a mere dictionary, like eBooks, but I use it primarily as a dictionary.

I nominate this product as the best product of the first decade of the 21st century.

Good Product but Get It for Less

This Franklin's SCD-1870 is a good and convenient product (looks great too). I especially like the fact that one can simply pop in an expansion card (dictionaries, references, games, and even bibles) to obtain additional functions--without having multiple gadgets. I purchased mine, via Amazon, from xpresstech for $90.99 + $5.49 shipping.

I also have the German (has the best features & tools of the 3), the speaking Spanish (has an annoying tiny & not expandable read screen), and the Italian dictionary bookman cards. I first purchase the German dictionary bookman card from J&R, $19.99 with $5.99 shipping and handling; I then later purchased the Italian and the (speaking) Spanish dictionary bookman cards from AimHi (of IL), $19.99 each, and didn't have to pay any shipping and handling (received them on the 3rd day after placing the order.) Therefore, if you are considering additional cards, you might want to consider AimHi instead.
