A Friend Forever:
I have had The Franklin model SCD-1870 for several years now. I'm so grateful and happy with it I'm compelled to say a few words about it. Two AAA batteries I put in several years ago still works! And I use the dictionary pretty much every day. As others have noted both the LCD and the speech are clear. Vocabulary capacity is more than enough.

A Must-Have For Word Lovers:
I'll never forget now the day I received my electronic dictionary. It has changed my life.

Good Product but Get It for Less:
This Franklin's SCD-1870 is a good and convenient product (looks great too). I especially like the fact that one can simply pop in an expansion card (dictionaries, references, games, and even bibles) to obtain additional functions--without having multiple gadgets. I purchased mine, via Amazon, from xpresstech for $90.99 + $5.49 shipping. I also have the German (has the best features & tools of the 3), the speaking Spanish (has an annoying tiny & not expandable read screen), and the Italian... more info
