  • Very decent with some room for improvements
The dictionary itself is very good(you know how merriam websters are like), and thesaurus is very handy, the best I've seen so far. (as a foreign student I've had over 5) However, it makes clicking noise when you press buttons which is slightly getting annoying and it doesn't turn on instantly on the first time after leaving it turned off for some time.(takes about 8 sec. After that it turns on in less than 2 seconds though). In addition it takes some time to load definitions and you can't add more than 100 words on the words list. Also the design of the interior is horrific, not just the looks but the alignment of function keys don't really match what shows on the screen because of the menu button and it's a bit confusing (you're bound to press menu key instead of f1 or f1 instead of f2 but you'll get used to it eventually) Back to the pros, it has an outstanding battery life, very compact size (but with a sufficient screen size) and additionally, fabulous exterior design. Though I am not 100% satisfied, I'll strongly recommend this to everyone who needs an electronic dictionary. ... show more

  • Writing With the Franklin SCD-2100N
I am writing my memoirs and need a college level dictionary for most of my dictionary needs. I have an OED but that is too cumbersome most of the time. Pros: I like the large number of definitions and thesaurus entries. I can stump this dictionary but neither easily nor often. I can sit and plan a new article and have a large dictionary within easy reach and quick access. It passes my private dictionary test for making fine distinctions. I like the extra memory available for a phone book and a private list of words. The ability to back these two features up to another computer makes them worth having. The dictionary uses two AAA batteries instead of an internal rechargeable one. I didn't need another gizmo to hang on a charger when it runs out of juice. Cons: I need a magnifier to read the second functions on some keys. The instruction sheet says the unit comes with a USB cable so it can communicate with another computer and back up private data. The factory did not include this cable in the blister. I had a cable that fits the dictionary, so no big problem, but still . . . The dictionary is a bit pricey and I thought about buying it for a long time but I am glad I did. I probably use it a dozen times a day. ... show more

  • Great Electronic Dictionary
UPDATE I'm changing this review from 3 stars to 4 stars because the Sharp unit I mention below started having problems. Namely, lines on the screen which made it unusable. My review of this Franklin device was at first glance. Now that I have used it for quite a while, I really like the definitions better than those on the Sharp. This Franklin unit also has more definitions and thesaurus than the Sharp unit. This Franklin unit is quite a find. I encourage those looking at the Sharp unit to reconsider because at some point, the unit will get the horizontal lines on the screen making it unreadable. Original Review I'm going to compare this unit to another electronic dictionary offered by Amazon, the Sharp PW-E550. It can be found here: Sharp Electronics PW-E550 Electronic Dictionary . I've had the Sharp PW-E550 for about 5 years. Thinking a newer electronic dictionary would be of even more use to me, I recently (April 2011) ordered a newer electronic dictionary. Boy was I wrong - big mistake on my part. I ordered this unit, the Franklin Speaking Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary 11th Edition (SCD-2100) Although the Franklin unit has 250,00 more base definitions and 150,000 more thesaurus entries, the Sharp PW-E550 is still a far superior unit. The definitions in the Franklin unit literally used variations of a defined word in providing the definition of the word. For me, such a "definition" is useless. If I don't know the meaning of a particular word, I certainly won't understand a definition that uses a variation of the word I don't understand. I returned the Franklin unit to Amazon.com after a few days of using the unit side-by-side with the Sharp PW-E550. The definitions in the PW-E550 are concise, and the unit isE550 much easier to use than the Franklin unit. I did give the Franklin unit 3 stars for its larger number of Dictionary & Thesaurus entries. It also has a larger screen than the Sharp. Finally, the Franklin unit is a speaking dictionary, something the Sharp does not have as a feature. ... show more
