2.0 out of 5 stars Quicktionary II, August 26, 2002

Pro: Does scan text well Con: translates one word at a time even though it scans a whole sentence. You have to figure out what the sentence means by piecing together the definitions of each individual word. This is difficult to do when you don't know the language you are trying to translate.

This scans so poorly that it is virtually worthless. There is also no place to store the protective tip (as on the back of a pen) which lessens its use as a portable device. Scanning is even worse in cramped spaces (airplanes, cafe seats) -- which is just where you might want to use this device. If you just scan an occasional unknown word, the device needs to be turned on each time -- as it turns itself off much too quickly. It has no advantages that I can think of over PDA type translators -- or even pocket dictionaries for that matter.

Keep in mind that the voice on all these pens is english, unlike what the names make it sound like. Apart from that, I think it's a good tool, I wish the Opticard was more easily obtainable (barcode sheet used to enter words manually because there is no keyboard).They could also improve on the screen navigation of long definitions.
