3.0 out of 5 stars Is not easy to identify miss spelled words, July 19, 2010

This review is from: Royal Machines RP Pro American Heritage Dictionary with Roget, Abbreviations, Translation & Spelling, SAT, Britannica CD Electronic Organizer (Grey) (Office Product)

I found this product easy to use, but it does not have the graphic resolution I am used to. I don't spell well, so I found it very difficult to find the correct words and the correct spelling of them. The RP Pro is a good entry level electronic dictionary for someone who spells well, but if one needs a high screen resolution and spelling resolution, I recommend getting one of the better Franklin Electronic dictionaries. However, make sure of the size, weight and features of the unit before buying an electronic dictionary - they can be quite different.

My RP Pro came with a Merriam-Webster's dictionary and Thesaurus as part of the enclosed Britannica computer program. That is a plus. *I run it on my Windows XP computer.

Conclusion: If one wants a small inexpensive unit that will not break the bank if it gets lost or broken, buy this one because it has a lot of words and is easy to use. Others should look for one with a high screen resolution and Phonetic Spell Correction.

It comes in very handy for children as well as adults for word definitions, spelling and as a translator. Very handy as oppose to taking out the big dictionary and it is portable as well.
