This is a mediocre english to spanish translator (I have about a 40% success rate when looking up spanish words...) that suffers greatly from a very poor keyboard; I have to press keys several times to get them entered on each word. Too bad...

The simple fact that it can speak 520,000 words in Spanish and English made me buy this dictionary. I was pleasantly surprised by how sturdy and easy to use it was. The speech synthesis took some getting used to but I see now that it really is a clever thing to have and am glad I didn't go for the one that doesn't talk.

I think the phrasebook would be good for someone who didn't know anything at all. I haven't used the medical and legal terms it says it comes with (and hope I won't have to!) but its good to know they're there. All in all I give it two thumbs up.

I purchased an english spanish dictionary for $99.95. When I recieved my package it was not what I ordered. The seller told me an "updated" one was sent to me. I have told the seller I was interested in the item on the page I saw and provided a link to the page. The seller told me I would have to pay $300.00 more for an exchange. But clearly the price was $99.95 on the page. So I returned for a refund paying $8.00 for postage. The item was recieve to the seller on September 15,2006. I asked for a refund the seller told me she did not recieve the item. I continuous wrote to the seller numerous times and even provided the tracking number which provided the item was recieved to the seller on September 15 at 9:22am. Over three weeks passed and the seller still told me she did not recieve my return. I has a file a claim to amazon and the seller then refunded my $99.95. I still lost out on my $8.00 postage and didn't get my item. WOULD NEVER BUY FROM AGAIN!!
