Digital camera reviews of Franklin KID-1240 Children's Talking Dictionary and Spell Corrector
Digital camera Review: Lousy Quality/Defective
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for my twin daughters' birthday. We couldn't get it to work for more than 5 minutes. It kept getting stuck (we couldn't even turn it on or off to clear it). No wonder there is a reset button on the back of the unit as this was the only way to solve the problem. Also the speaker sometimes crackled. Perhaps there was a short in the unit; hence, all the problems. The voice sounded terrible and very mechanical. As my daughter played tic-tac-toe, it kept saying 'my turn' every time it was the computer's turn. It sounded really weird and annoying. I've asked for a full refund. I'm looking for something of more quality. Too bad, it looked like a really cute product.Digital camera Review: My 7 years old loves it
Summary: 5 Stars
We got it a couple of weeks ago. My son loves it. Whenever he read, he always have this dictionary next to him. He is learning to study independently, searching answers by himself.Digital camera Review: My kid loves it
Summary: 5 Stars
My kid goes to speach therapy. This helps him pronounce/practice words that are difficult for him.
In class he participates more because now he can pronounce more words, his homework is more enjoyable because he is able to search for new words.
Speach therapy is not only about being able to pronounce but also undestand the meaning of the words, if not then he is just memorizing the words without knowing the meaning of them.
The spell checker of word suggestion is good because now I can understand what he is trying to say, when it is too difficult for him to pronounce he looks it up.
Digital camera Review: My little girls buddy
Summary: 5 Stars
My little girl loves this thing . She is improving quickly in reading and has it completely figured out with only a couple of minutes of me looking at it to explain it to her. We hear it going off through out the day. I hope within a year she will out grow it and be reading on her own. She also likes to type in sentences and have the talking dictionary say it to people lol.
As for me I love it ! I used to be asked what this word is or that is .. every few minutes ...now that is rare.
She has been using it for a few weeks and it still looks to be in great shape (for the durability- she is a girl ... my boys may have busted it by now)
Digital camera Review: Not What I Expected
Summary: 3 Stars
I have two children with special needs and I bought this item for the one with problems processing speech and language. Upon installing batteries I was amped to see this product in action. The spell corrector is what really caught my eye with this product. I put one of his spelling words for the week into it and it didn't even come close to correcting the spelling. I pulled out the instructions for exacts on features and there are some good features but not really what I bought it for.
One good thing about this contraption is that it got my daughter who has mod/severe autism interested. She likes to try and spell with it which has me surprised since she is usually uninterested in many things.
I believe as my son matures and his brain develops more, he will be able to use this product in many situations but for now it won't cut it.
There are suggestions for other brands on the other Franklin kid's dictionary listing that I think I will look into. Good thing this didn't cost much.
