What it offers [Posted on 2001-01-02]
Hello. I'm writing this to share my opinion with you. This product is great if you already own a Franklin Bookman. This allows you to translate from Spanish to English, English to Spanish,and has fun games and learnables to use. This summer my Spanish class is going to Mexico and I'm bringing this with me. When I bought this at another store it was quite expensive, but here at amazon.com the price is perfect. If I were you I'd take advanage of this great deal!

Do NOT buy this from here! [Posted on 2004-07-31]

A valuable tool...yet disappointing [Posted on 2005-10-30]
Just wanted to let you all know that the quality of this bookman card is not the same as that of the built-in information that comes with the newer electronic dictionaries. First of all, all text is confined to a small rectangle that fills about a half of your screen. The rest of the screen remains blank and unused, resulting in a lot of scrolling with your arrow keys. Secondly, the pronunciation is not quite as great as that of the speaking english dictionary. The speech tends to be a bit unclear and riddled with static. Finally, the definitions are often rather brief and the conjugation leaves out some inflected forms.

However, this is the only speaking spanish dictionary that I am aware of. With all of its flaws it still remains as one of my most valuable tools in learning spanish.

Good experience [Posted on 2007-09-21]
It wasn't what I was looking for, but they accepted the return and gave me a refund with no hassle. Service was excellent.

What's with the Tiny Screen Size! [Posted on 2008-04-17]
I have a Franklin's SCD-1870, and have purchased 3 dictionary bookman cards for it--German, Italian, and Spanish (speaking). Out of these 3 expansion cards, this Spanish card is the worst (the German one has the best features & tools)--other than that it's a limited version, all the available text is readable only in a tiny 3/8 inch by 1 3/4 inch rectangle, which leaves more than 2/3 of useable screen blank. In addition, even though I was initially excited about having another "speaking" dictionary card, this card's "speech" is not as clear as the English dictionary "speak" function on my SCD-1870.

Although I like the convenience of expansion cards, I can't help but feel rather disappointed/cheated by the Spanish (speaking) bookman card, as I'm made to forever scroll up and down every nanosecond...
