product is good but a lot of words are not included which makes it unreliable source of information

Great for those trying to learn English, si hablan espanol. The only problem I encountered is how much battery it consumes when the speaker is used to listen to the pronunciation. But it is a very practical and easy to use instrument and my sister loves it.

Did not live up to our expectations at all. We have the English version of this, worked great for my visually impaired daughter. On that one, she can type a word, and the device not only pronounces the word, but speaks the entire definition, and it speaks the various other games and activities. She she can basically interact with all the features, since she knows the keyboard.

The Spanish-English does NOT work the same way. You type a word in English, "cat", it says "cat" (which you already know how to say). It prints "gato" on the lcd display, which is barely legible to a sighted person. It does NOT say "gato" or anything else. The manual says it can pronounce any highlighted word in a definition, but no words are ever highlighted! It CAN say "gato", if you type it in, but of course does not then say the English word "cat". So it cannot connect spoken English words with spoken Spanish words, and speaks no definitions. It only very minimally fulfils the "talking" part. So for us, it's pretty useless, while its English counterpart was quite useful.

My granddaughter loved it and used it all day long translating everything anybody said to Spanish. I think it will be a great educational tool for her.
