This Franklin product is not worth even looking at. It does not performed as advertised and you more time being frustrated then you will ever get any assistance. Franklin needs to decide whether it wants to be in today’s technology and either be a PDA or pocket PC, or stop trying to compete in this market. Their products are misleading in advertising what they are supposed to be for, and really not even worth looking at for most fields. I believe you can do better with multiple other products that are more technologically advanced, and can meet today’s needs and challenges. I would highly avoid this company’s products in the future. It will just mean an extra drive to return it.

Upon reciving the Franklin BES-1850 in the mail, I was going to think of a name, which suted it’s behavior.
At Furst, I thought I was going to name it Ursula, because it was a fancy translator.
Defenentley not an Ursula.
But then I thought of the name Bettie, not Betty).
Just as it sounds, Bettie, helpful when needed, is defenentley a good name for my dictionary.
It has been very helpful for me.
I will list just a few words in Spanish, with the english translation.
Afilador lapiz electrico, Electric Pencil sharpener.
Aspiradora, Vacuum cleaner.
Organo, Organ.
And, manual, pronunced mon wall, manual.
I will continue to use Betty.
She’s very helpful. My only dislike is that you can’t hear the voice through the speaker as good as an external headset.

It was a nice starter for someone needing a Spanish-English dictionary but the unit I got was defective. The enter & the space buttons did not work. These rendered this toy useless. It had a nice touch screen feature but it was no substitute for the enter & space buttons. I would rate this a 5 star if the buttons worked.

Mine would not speak, and I returned it. Has anyone got this product to speak?
Also, instructions are a difficult to handle foldout, instead of a handy booklet.
