Franklin Spelling Ace with Thesaurus:

Nice, compact spelling aid for both student and adults alike. Especially useful in both the school and working environment when you need to check the spelling of a particular word or look for another way to say a certain word.

Inferior Product:

I have a Wordmaster, also manufactured by Franklin. It's about 15 years old, and far superior to this Spelling Ace. I did a random test for synonyms, using the words "heard", "bury", "relish" and "wonder".
The Spelling Ace produced a total of 19 synonyms for these 4 words. My 15-year-old Wordmaster gave me me a total of 80.
I'm sorry I wasted my money on this product, but fortunately, I still have the old one

A great spell checker!!:

The Franklyn spelling ace is really nice. It's much bigger than the others. I purchased it for my Father-in -Law because his was too small & he had a hard time reading it. This one has a big read-out that you can see. The buttons are much bigger also. I liked the one I got him so much that I bought one myself. At first the buttons can be a little confusing. I've had to re-set mine 3 times. Now that I know what I'm doing it works great!! The one problem I see is that there is an = sign on the enter key... more info

Very happy with purchase:

I bought this item for playing scrabble and it is very good for that, but it is hard to get it out of game mode. The instructions are not clear either. I am happy with it though. It may be a user problem on my end.
