"So quickly, in fact, that had I not had some understanding of the language and been able to repeat things for my daughter, she likely wouldn't get much out of it in the pronunciation arena."
"This translator would be amazing if it would have the new technology."
"Whether they are bad or not, these words belong to the language and should be included in order to learn it, or at least to know that they are bad."
"My mistake."
"I purchased the unit specifically for the pronunciation of words in Spanish."
"I know enough Spanish to realize that some of the word have translations that make no sense, example: translate fall in love and you get Felony and a book cover and you get: I would like to book a tour."
"I took this with me to Cuba, and eventually stopped using it entirely because the translations were so unreliable, and it made me feel foolish."

"Yes it is very important for me."
"I read the reviews, especially about a difficult to read first line, but I thought this would be great to take to the office, travel with, and more functional then a dictionary. There is a challenging Tesol flash card series (for the advanced, not me yet), and customizable English and Spanish flash cards you make yourself."
"Used to use this in high school back in the early 2000s."
"The software and the features it offers are outstanding: it has full comprehensive English/Spanish, Spanish/English translations including complete conjugation of verbs, numerous useful phrases, expressions and idioms, plus the ability to pronounce all words."
"Its important weaknesses are that it translates only words and does not recognize phrases; also, the speaking voice is fuzzy."
"The first major criticism is the design of the product - instead of it's current rounded look, I would rather have a tilted/slanted look because that's the way most viewers use it [on a flat surface]. The most comfortable viewing angle is 15%, but this product is at almost a flat angle so that whenever you type or read the first line, it's blocked by a shadow from the top on the LCD."
"Immediately I noticed that the first line of the entry always seemed to be in a dark shadow and I had to try tipping the unit to get light into the inner screen to make it readable."
