Digital camera reviews of Franklin Electronics SCG-1870 Ultimate Portable Reference Suite Speaking Dictionary (SCD-1870 + Expansion Cards)
Digital camera Review: Best there is for crossword solvers
Summary: 5 Stars
Up to now Franklin have sent it to us from the US for years as a favour. My husband does the FT weekend crossword every week and has won it often. He has tried all the other similar devices but none have the many features of this one. The only problem is that the encyclopedia cards, even the Encyclopedia Britannica card, are designed for Americans, and even the smallest town in the USA is featured sometimes, when a town of great historic significance elsewhere in the world is omitted.
A new card is needed for non US residents now.
Digital camera Review: Disneylayne
Summary: 5 Stars
I am in a Master's Program and I am always writing. Having this quick reference is so handy. I had an older talking one and everyone always seemed to borrow it, and of course, I don't remember who had it last.
It also gave me a good reason to purchase this new dictionary. It is small, compact and a cover to cover the screen.. GREAT for students,
GREAT for anyone....especially if you are reading and need a quick reference.
Digital camera Review: Excellent Product
Summary: 5 Stars
The only drawback, which is inherent in this particular model, is that it tends to lose memory of words that your want it to remember for future reference. I've had other ones exactly like this one in the past, and they all had the same defect. The reason this isn't my first one is that the other ones got wet somehow or another, like coffee spills, etc. and the inside glass becomes difficult to read, as they are not waterproof. Other than that, it's an excellent product.Digital camera Review: Great Dictionary
Summary: 5 Stars
The Merriam Webster scg-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 kind of hard to press.
5) Its dictionary and thesaurus are very informable and not skimpy on imformation.
6) The Columbia Concise Encyclopedia is a very useful feature.
Final remark: Highly reccommended!! Franklin really outdid themselves!
Digital camera Review: Great features

This is the second one of these we've bought. My wife lost her first one after a year of using it and loving it. She was pretty sad when she lost it. So I got her the exact same model for Christmas. She is very happy with it!. She reads a lot and has this by her side to look up and hear any unfamiliar words. It really has made her happy to have it back.
I personally have one nit to pick: the spoken word that comes from it is pretty mechanical and a bit tinny. But besides that, we're very happy with it.
