 great product for bad spellers on the go!!!! April 17, 2007

I've had one of these for over 14 years now, when they first started coming out. My brother has the original one I got freshman year in high school, and I have one I got junior year. This item is still very much the same as it was 14 years ago, just a little sleaker and smaller. Very easy to use, turn on, type the word, and search. It still has thesaurus and games, and as reviews below mention, occasionally still brings up entertaining words if you are as bad of phonetic speller as I am. This item is excellent to save you from digging through pages of a dictionary in search of just a spelling, and not the definition. A must if you can't even get the first 3 letters square like I do looking up words. Most of these models will also play hangman with you, amongst a few other games to try and work with your spelling skills. The spelling ace my brother still has actually contained many definitions. These little machines are worth their weight in gold for highschoolers and college folks writing paper, even with spell check on the computer.
 Ok, but many flaws December 26, 2006

The Franklin Spelling Ace is pretty good with games, thesaurus, and spell check, but the display was designed poorly. The screen has huge print and you have to scroll constantly to read the full definition of a word. The auto scrolling is too slow and it can very tedious to read definitions. There is a list feature to put in your own words for future reference. The games are enjoyable. I originally got this a few years ago hoping to use it as a quick dictionary, but many of the words I looked up either weren't included or didn't have a definition. Also, similar words all had the same exact definitions, which didn't help when trying to find the best word to use in a situation or when trying to distinguish one word from another. If you are in elementary school it should be a good tool, but if you are older you should consider a better tool for more quality defintions.
A great little thesaurus & dictionary November 11, 2004

This is a great little tool for use in the office especially when you type a lot of memos, policies, procedures, etc. I use it primarily for the thesaurus, so I cannot comment on the other features. The only problem I have is that the lid pops off every time I use it. No biggie, but a fact.
can't you read September 14, 2004
