I purchased this talking dictionary for my 6 year old grandson for Christmas. He likes to carry it with him in the car (very compact)and practice his spelling and sentence construction. The talking feature makes it especially fun for him and reinforces these skills. The spell correction feature for phonetically spelled words is very useful. He gets immediate spell correction and hears and sees the correct spelling on the screen. I did have to sit down and explain all the features to make sure he understood how to use it, but after this brief instruction session, he could operate it independently quite well. The cover is a bit flimsy, but we have had no difficulty with it yet. Attractive electronic learning aid, very compact, and so easy to carry and operate. Great learning aid!

I rated this child's device so my comments will not be buried in a pile of overly positive "reviews". This is a unique device as Franklin Electronic "Books" tend to be. I've had 2 Franklin Bookman products for several years, each has slots for additional Bookman Books (Proprietary ROM cards). My complaint is Franklin did not make enough books for them. I have the college dictionary, the Bible, the Concise Encyclopedia and the Spainish-English Dictionary. Other than my complaint that Frankling didn't release enough reference books for them, my other complaints are Franklin totally abandoned Bookman owners (they could have easily continued releasing new "books"). They also abandoned owners of the original Bookman devices when they came out with the Bookman II. Mine have a port for linking them to a PC so you can download e books and install them into blank ROM cards. Franklin switched to Bookman II and never released the cable for linking to a PC and they never made the blank ROM cards available. Before anyone spends any serious money on Franklin products, you may want to know this about Franklin Books: They practice abandonware. They leave customers in the lurch. The quality of Franklin devices has been high. I have not had any Franklin device or book fail on me. Old ones sell for above list price on eBay. I ordered this KID-1240 device for my very intelligent but stubborn 8 year old grand daughter. I don't get the complaints here that the dictionary has too few words. It does have 44,000 words. Did the reviewer expect an encyclopedia or unabridged Oxford Dictionary? Positives. I inspected it closely and ran it through its functions. The device is high quality build and it works well, both things I expect from Franklin. A function I do not see mentioned will interest parents. The device says each letter out loud as they are entered but it will not say slang words, which eliminates nearly all "dirty" words. The speaker is much better than the speaker in the original Franklin Bookman devices but I think Franklin could have done better considering the amount of space they set aside for the speaker. I've seen smaller computing devices with better speakers. However, unlike earlier Franklin devices, the speaker is clear, and loud enough for individual use. Negatives. The design of the battery compartment and door should have been better. Most 6 to 9 year olds should not change batteries themselves. There is real risk they will break the compartment door or lose the tiny screw. Breaking the door is a game changer. Losing the screw is not. Inserting the 4 AAA batteries is a little tricky. Overall, I find that the KID 1240 is what Franklin claims it is. Its not an unabridged dictionary. Its not a tutor or an electronic parent.

This dictionary is good for the kids who are in grade 1 or 2. It has limited vocabulary. Speech is poor. The main problem I found is that it froze many times while looking for the words and I had to reset the battery. On the whole, it didn't meet my expectation. I suggest to have a kindle or similar e-readers which can have a handy dictionary and much more than that. Are there any good speaking-dictionaries as kindle apps?

This may not be the best choice for those who need a large database of words. However, my 12 year old son who has dyslexia finds it incredibly helpful and fun. His spelling is at a third grade level and this helps him to work on his 6th grade work much more independently. Spell check on word documents don't help him find the words he is looking for, but 9 times out of 10 this phonics spell checker does. Plus it gives the definition so that he knows he has chosen the correct word. I use rechargeable batteries and have had this for 3 weeks. We haven't had to recharge them yet, so it seems good on battery use. My 5 year old likes playing with it to try to create words and my 10 year old loves the hangman game and making sentences that it speaks back to you. But it has been the greatest help with my son.

I bought this for my son who is in third grade and needs help with spelling. He loves it! He uses it as entertainment, not just for school work, looking up various words, listening to the audio and playing games with his spelling words. It works perfectly for our needs, he types in how he thinks the word is spelled and the dictionary then gives him the correct spelling and pronunciation so he can be sure it is the same as the word he intended. Others have complained of the odd voice on the talking dictionary but it is certainly not unintelligible by any means. It has held up well with normal use, no broken parts. We are happy with this purchase.

I had one of these when I was a kid. I have never been a good speller. Now as a homeschooling mother of 4 I see why I have never been a good speller! I have a logical brain and the English language is often not logical! What is so great about this tool is that it takes the phonic spelling your child puts in and gives them the correct word. There have been times I have been typing and auto correct on my iPad will not give me the correct spelling of a word because it does not recognize words phonically but rather by letter patterns and I grab my adult version of this tool. My kids LOVE to make the dictionary talk, make lists of words, and play games. It encourages them to spell and use their brains and teaches them grammar rules. It encourages them to write. Often times kids don't pick up their pencils because the dynamics of writing are too hard. If they know they can grab their dictionary and look up a word and the spelling, it gives them confidence. I would recommend this for every child but if you're buying it for your kids to just play games on and you don't have the kind of kid that's interested in words, writing, books, reading...then yes they probably won't like it and you should some other type of "educational" tool for them. The pronunciation is very robotic, yes but we enjoy making fun of it. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because quality is a little lacking. The screen will break easily and it does eat through batteries.

My 11 year old autistic son loved this talking dictionary until it stopped reading the words after about a week. It was never handled roughly. It just stopped rather suddenly for no apparent reason. Of course - the paperwork that came with it basically said, oh well. too bad. Other reviews suggested it wouldn't last - but I wanted to give it a try.

After reading reviews I decided to purchase this product for our 9 year old son who is increasingly asking what certain words mean while he is reading. It soon became clear that this is not something for a 9 year old but would be perfect for our daughter who is 6. The dictionary has a VERY limited number of words and for a 9 year old it simply is insufficient. However, for a 6 year old the device is very helpful, speaking words clearly and offering definitions. Furthermore, both my wife and I have an accent and this product offers a good way to have the kids hear a word pronounced correctly (robot accent wins against Romanian accent). Thus I would recommend this product for young kids but not beyond age 9 (unless used to help with things such as dyslexia). The reason I gave it 3 stars is the flimsiness of this device. I thought that after 20 years in the business of building handhelds you can offer a device that is sturdy, intuitive and ergonomic. Franklin hasn't managed any of these three in this product.
