- An exceptional experience
What an exceptional experience I had dealing with aaron. Would not hesitate to buy from him again!
Rating: - Doctoral candidate
I am a Doctoral candidate and this little gem was a must for me. I had a speller for years and it was time to upgrade. The speaking part of this device is the best! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it needs a backlight, so when I get profound epiphanys in the middle of the night I don't have to turn on a light.

Rating: - Excellent Investment
Excellent product! I have used this dictionary for almost five years now. It is easy to use, informative, and has withstood being dropped countless times. It has very good learning tools to help you expand your vocabulary. The "speak" tool has helped me fix words I had mispronounced my whole life. I love it...worth the money.
Rating: - 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 and it 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. It comes with a lot more than a mere dictionary, like eBooks, but I use it primarily as a dictionary.
