the first three words I typed in to find definitions for it didn’t have. Need I say more?

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.

I’m a college grad and I bought this dictionary thinking it would be convenient to look up words I didn’t know in novels and the like. So far it seems to only have about 50% of the words I’ve looked up in the memory. Not too helpful, now if you are looking for word definitions like “hedge” – this is for you

The dictionary and thesaurus is too limited to be of much use. Any odd word gets a “correcting” process and gives you other words . I would not recommend this unit above a fifth grader.

I agree with all of the negative comments made by previous reviewers, particularly the difficulty of opening the cover. I would add that the keyboard is very difficult to use. When a key is pressed, it gets stuck on one side or the other under the faceplate. If you push it again to unstick it, you generate the same character again.
I recommend that anyone interested in this product handle one in a store before purchase.
