Disapointed (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: English - German - Polish Talking Dictionary EGP486T (Office Product)

The only thing I was disapointed in was it only speaks in English. I am a native English speaker. I needed it to hear the words in the Czech language. I was not to happy with it because of that one reason. If it were to speak the words in Czech then I think it would be great.

Disapointed....

This is an excellent tool for anyone speaking Polish or German wishing to learn English. However, if you are going the other way, as I hope to, it has a problem. The tech specs incorrectly state that it has speech synthesis in all three languages. It does not. It only verbalizes in English. Otherwise it's incredible.

Delivery was quick. I called them up and explained the problem and they agreed to exchange it for another model, which like its brother, claims to verbalize in German. I hope it does.

This review is from: English - German - Polish Talking Dictionary EGP486T (Office Product)

I bought it to study German language mostly. The vocabulary base is truly huge English-German, Polish--German and Polish-English and I found everything I expected to and lots more. What I think is probably the most useful function of this speedy device is the instant reverse translation. The voice capabilities are really good and useful if, like me, you don't have a clue how to pronounce some words. The grammar books are helpful too as far as they go.
