Customer Review: WORTH EVERY PENNY.
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter's Communications II teacher recommended that the kids invest in a electronic dictionary. After much research we decided to invest in the Franklin Speaking 11th Collegiate Dictionary.
We were really concerned with the price but decided to go for it. My daughter is in 8th grade and is presently taking two high school classes. She has told my a couple times how much of a life saver this dictionary has been for her. She really doesn't even need me to review spelling words because you can enter in the words and it will repeat the word and you type in the correct spelling. It has a multitide of scientific informational facts also hat she is totally impressed with daily. It's well worth it if you look at the fact it is definatly a good educational tool

Customer Review: Franklin SCD-1870 is GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
I just bought the Franklin SCD-1870 with the Collegiate Dictionary. I used to love computer gizom's but have basically gone retro-tech because of disappointment with failed promises. The SCD-1870 is a revelation! It is easy to use, intuitive and is a great dictionary. If you love words and want to have 200,000 of them in your pocket this product is for you. Now I can have a dictionary anywhere. It also contains other great information interesting and useful to those interested in grammer and style. I'm very pleased. As another reviewer said, this is a $100 product that gives $400 worth of value. Now all I want is a Latin/English card to slip into the back of my Franklin and I will be truely happy.Customer Review: convenient dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
The small size and light weight of this dictionary make it easy to carry everywhere, so it is convenient to use. I particular like the feature that allows me to learn a word every time I turn the dictionary on. There are other features, such as games that I don't think are very useful for me. I like the pronunciation feature that helps me learn how to pronounce new words; unfortunately, the sound is kind of hard to discern. The sound is a little not natural and smooth. This dictionary would be better if its covering is made of some metal rather than leather and has a pocket. I have to buy my own pocket to store the dictionary and backup batteries. However, overall I like this dictionary.Customer Review: Brilliant Little Device
Summary: 5 Stars
The Merriam Webster SCD-1870 is a great portable dictionary for many reasons:
1) It is quick and easy to use.
2) Its games are great pastimes and are very educational.
3) Its LCD screen is visible and easy to read.
4) Its buttons are big, but slightly hard to press.
5) Its dictionary and thesaurus are very informable and not skimpy on information.
6) The Columbia Concise Encyclopedia is a very useful feature. Buy it as an accessory!
Final remark: Highly reccommended!! Franklin really outdid themselves! If you want the ULTIMATE Reference Suite, get the Franklin SCG-1870
