There Are Better Alternatives,
By
This review is from: Franklin MWD-170 USB Merriam-Webster Dictionary/Thesaurus (Office Product)
I thought this was going to be a great addition to my PC. Man was I wrong. It was a waste of money. The instructions were not clear. The installation did not go smoothly, and I ended up having to call technical support twice. Only after finally getting this installed did I realize it isn't interactive. What a disappointment. The way this works, if you suspect you've misspelled a word, you can go to the dictionary and look it up. That's old school. I am mostly a Macintosh user, and I was expecting something as easy to install as Spell Catcher from Rainmaker Research [...] Disappointed, I found that Rainmaker also has a Spell Catcher for the PC. It was an easy choice to make that purchase. The USB Merriam-Webster Disctionary/Thesaurus now makes a nice do-dad for a key chain. Maybe I can find someone who'll purchase it. Do yourself a favor... pass this one up... there are better alternatives.

WTF,

This review is from: Franklin MWD-170 USB Merriam-Webster Dictionary/Thesaurus (Office Product)
I purchased this for my wife who is an Editor, thinking it would be usefull to her. Upon recieipt I promptly plugged it into her computer, and was then asked for the key to unlock the program. This had not been provided in the package, could not be found on-line and was not forthcoming from anywhere.
To sum up, without the key this was a complete waste of my time and money. Can't review it because I never saw it work.

this is a joke,
By Linda T (Dallas, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Franklin MWD-170 USB Merriam-Webster Dictionary/Thesaurus (Office Product)
This is a joke. It worked about 3 times and then after than the computer says that it can not find it when I really do have it plugged in. We have installed and reinstalled and uninstalled and finally threw it in the trash
