great translator
I have been through quite a few translators and this is way better than all of the rest. It provides idioms, phrases, and conjugations of all the tenses with their English equivelants. For all of the people that said that they can't see the screen, it is probably because you have to go into settings and adjust the contrast; it does pronounce the Spanish words, unlike some reviewers said; and it does give you phrases (probably more than you'll ever need!). You just need to learn how to use it. The only think bad that I can say about this item is that the cover falls of when you open it, but that is just a minor flaw.

I was disappointed
Franklin Merriam-Webster ((Speaking)) Spanish-English Dictionary (BES-1850). I really did not test it's functionality. From that stand point it might be fabulous but the fact that I could not read the display screen was sufficient for me to return the device. The letters are blue, the backround is light green. Even after adjusting the resolution I had problems reading the small letters. If you do not have perfect vision I would not recommend this unit.

Dim display is kiss of death
I read reviews before I purchased. Some said the display was very dim. I took the risk. Wish I had not. It's really, really dim. So dim, it cannot be used outdoors. Recommend you look elsewhere

Great product but:
This is a great product and works well. The only thing I found is that I am over 60 and have difficulty reading the print.
