3.0 out of 5 stars It's serbian, not croatian, November 20, 2006

This review is from: Ectaco ESC200D English-Serbian Bilingual Dictionary with Grammar Book and Universal Organizer (Electronics)

This electronic dictionary is still better than nothing, but the vocabulary is serbian, which is definitely not croatian (there exists no such language as "serbo-croatian", which is a pure fiction).

If you don't double-check lookups with the help of a native speaker, you might get into trouble because of that. ECTACO KNOWS ABOUT THIS ISSUE, its own website is hiding this : photos are retouched so that the words "serbo-croatian" do not appear, and, worse, the presentation of the product on ECTACO's site mentions "croatian", which is a blatant lie.

ECTACO should really start thinking about making a real english<-> croatian electronic dictionary.

Apart from that, the input method is interesting, but the hardware behind is really slow, which prevents a decent typing speed and causes lots of missing characters when typing.
