Franklin TES-118 English/Spanish Translator

I bought this little device as a beginning Spanish student because it boasted a large vocabulary and phrases. br>This product has disappointed me in a number of ways. The size and design, first and foremost: It's small, which is fine, but the designers made two mistakes: the display is difficult to see in any light, and the most important button(s) are ridiculously small. Second: All of the phrases have been pre-categorized. Don't even try to come up with a unique phrase. Many of the pre-programmed phrases, such as What is your e-mail address?, are ridiculous. What is your e-mail address? Why would someone who isn't a member of the military do something like that? Is there a need for that for a Spanish-speaking person? If you want to find a Chinese restaurant, you'll have to look up each word separately, only to discover that "chinese" isn't in the database. So get a pencil and a piece of paper ready to make your own clumsy sentences. br>I gave it one star because having nothing is preferable to having nothing. This would get you through if you were rushing to Mexico for the weekend. Because it's not intuitive, you'll have to read the manual to figure out how to capitalize a letter and how to use any/all of the functions. It's difficult to navigate because it's complicated, limited, and limited. On the bright side - You will be aware of the time! There's a name for what you're looking for. a database of phone numbers It would be much more convenient to simply be able to jot down something - such as the street where your hotel is located - instead of having to look up "What is the specialbr>today? ", write down frequently used expressions of your own. "Every night at dinner," says the narrator. However, if your wife is expecting a child and goes into labor, you should be concerned. This handy gadget will save the day. br> It takes care of that. It would be faster and more useful to have a pocket dictionary. br>.

The instructions were simple to follow, and I used it on my trip (back to my old Peace Corps site, where I wasn't sure how my Spanish would hold up after three years away - I didn't mind staying as long as I did), but I was disappointed with the lack of vocabulary. It either denied the existence of words or attempted to correct them. I had hoped for a bit more. br>br>However, I really enjoy the thermometer converter! br>br>Excellent size and portability. It was a reliable battery, and I didn't have to worry about it breaking (as I had with a previous one). For my needs, I wouldn't buy it again, but it might suit someone else perfectly.

Because the screen is too small, many messages must be expanded (slowly) using the arrow buttons. The keys don't bounce back and stick. I've tried a number of common words that it doesn't understand, including "mule. " " There are only a few instructions: On one side of a single piece of paper, printed crookedly. There are no instructions for the date, and it isn't even mentioned, just runes, runes, runes, and runes, runes, runes, and run Although it was created in 2001, it has never been cached. It is essentially useless and a complete waste of money, regardless of how small the amount is.

" The article took a long time to arrive, and when it did, I was unable to deliver it. However, I have arrived. Currently, it does not work. Tashbar was a bad experience for me.

It does what it says, but it's not very intuitive, especially in light of the fact that today's smart phones can do so much more. I wanted this for my trip to Cuba because there is no internet access there, but I always fumbled - It took some getting used to, so I went back to using old-fashioned printouts of the most commonly used tourist phrases and questions.

The translator was a fraction of the size of another- a similar design- that I placed an order for and got.
