Great Quality For A Very Reasonable Price [Posted on 2008-05-14]
I purchased this translator as a gift for my mother's four week tour of Europe. Over all, she was very happy with the item. Occasionally, she said there were times when she couldn't find how to say a particular phrase, but for the most part, she was thrilled that this one device served her quite efficiently through all of the countries she traveled. She especially liked the verbal pronunciation, the pre-grouped categories of phrases, its small size, & its included alarm clock which allowed her to cut back on bringing one more item. As for me, I certainly appreciated how reasonably priced it was for how well it served my mother on her trip. You can absolutely find better translators but doing so on par of the cost per value of this translator would be difficult. It's a great item for the price.

I bought this translator for my husband because he is going to China on a trip in a few months.This translator offers a great choice of phrases for almost any kind of situation . It is also really easy to use and carry. I would recommend it to anyone traveling overseas. Great buy.

This is a really cool machine. It has a lot of phrase that you can look up easily. Then just push a button and it speaks the phrase in a different language. I strongly recommend it to an one that travels to foreign countries.

I bought it as a gift and the young man we gave it to loves it.

Really worthless [Posted on 2008-06-26]
I gave this translator a negative review earlier, and it was taken off. I don't know why it was removed, but I find this action really disappointing. Needless to say, I won't be giving any more reviews for Amazon. I notice someone else's negative rating was also removed.

In my opinion, this translator is not worthy. It's features are extremely limited with a set number of trite phrases only.

But the main objection I had is that the voice that speaks the Spanish version is comical-sounding and almost insulting. I would be embarrassed to use it.

Use your money instead to buy a small electronic dictionary. You'll be better off in the long run. It's certainly more versatile.

C'mon Amazon, let's have some intellectual honesty in your reviews. I've deleted all my past reviews. Can't stand dishonesty.

My rating for this "electronic Translator:" 1 star.

What'll you bet they remove this one, too?
