LEXIBOOK The English Dictionary, D650EN

Easy to use. Quality is great. Great value for money. Size is good. And versatility is good too.

a useful machine but perhaps the contrast adjuster could be a bit better.

I like the look and colour of this model but the reading area is let down by the colours and contrast feature which is yellowy blue. Very difficult for someone with poor eyesight. It needs to be black on white or white on black. I returned the item for this reason.

Having had this item for a few weeks and been disappointed I have just searched for the very simple word 'reset' and it was not recognised which tipped me over the edge in to writing this review. This product has failed to contain numerous mainstream words and consequently it is actually useless for the purpose claimed and I can't recall it having been able to offer anything in its thesaurus for any word I have entered. Don't buy this item.

Good value for money helps me wi ma spelling and look up words I've never heard and then explain their meaning bloody marvelous for this ,79 yr auld never too auld to learn

I would recommend buying it. Not everything is there but it is very handy especially if you don't want your kids to search on google all the time.

Stopped working after 3 years,No where near as good as my previous Seiko oxford crossword solver.Which is no longer available.

Multi-functional pocket-sized digital dictionary/thesaurus/calculator etc

1 am comparing this dictionary to the, unfortunately discontued, Sharp PW -300 dictionary, that has partly malfunctioned after many years of usage. If tha Sharp was a Rolls - Royce then the Lexibook D650EN- 09 is equal to a three wheel bicycle. It is a dictionary, in my opinion, for very small children just learning English. It has such a small number of words in its memory. I get so many messages that the word I have chosen is not available. I use the dictionary for spelling and infomation as to the words origin. The sharp can tell you more information about the word that you would care to know. Lexibook gives little or no examples to explain the words meaning. Unfortunately one does not know how bad a device like this is until you begin to use it. Normally I would return this item, but once the Sharp's dictionary finally expires, what is there to replace it. The Lexibook is more than a dicionary, if it had spent more effort on the dictionay and less on the other features it may have become a better dictionary.

Easy to use and my wife likes it

Disappointed with this. Doesn’t recognize words to spell for my gr 3 granddaughter, When typing in a phonetically it doesn’t recocognise basic words. They would take it back but the return address is in England. I have to pay postage…..this would cost as much as the device…. Think before you purchase if you live on a different continent than Europe.

Good for my daughter

Besides coming damaged I tried it out and I felt like you had to get pretty close to the actual spelling of a word rather than phonetic spelling. I put in “tho” for the word “though” and it didn’t suggest it. I put in “cood” for “could” and it didn’t get that one either. It did get “what” when I put in “wut” but it was fairly far down on the suggestion list. I didn’t try other features because it was too damaged to navigate options. I got it for my 5th grader who has a tough time with spelling and I don’t think it will be the right fit for my phonetic speller.
