I purchased the English-Russian Electronic Dictionary to use specifically while my daughter-in-law's parents were visiting from Russia and we were on vacation for a week together. When using the dictionary, I received puzzled looks from her parents. I ask my daughter-in-law to check it out and she said it was not translating properly, therefore we could use it for the purpose intended (of course I wouldn't know). My daughter-in-law is Russian but graduated cum laude from USA University so is well spoken & read in both languages.

At first glance I thought that this product would be of great use. This did not turn out to be the case. My wife is Russian and I thought she would get good use out of it while learning English. As it turns out the amount of times the translation was right was a point of contention, and it sits in the box, due to the lack of accuracy in it's ability to accuratly translate. It may be the specific model there are certainly other choices from this company, but not many from other companies. Their computer bases product Prompt! works much better.

After reading the other review I confess I was a bit afraid of purchasing one. But I did: and that was the best resolution I made!The Ectaco Partner
Er200DM fullfill every word that is announced and plus! Even to the touch,
the material is soft , modern and good to the tact. Feature after feature it is perfect ! How can one give just one star to this machine? Maybe wanted it to speak? (But that is another device - that Ectaco has, too).
Studying russian, of course I have a big dictionary, but an electronic
that you can carry in your pocket is much, much better. Congratulations to Amazon and Ectaco!

Very complete and concise interpretor. Very helpful. Could have better led screen as hard to see without really high light. Highly used!!!

I never did get the hang on how to use this. Could be me, but found it complicated and the Russian girl that stayed with us ( non English speaking) laughed when I used some of the words. Later I learned that not all the words that the translator said were the right ones!
