Franklin Speaking Language Master LM6000b

Rating: 5 Star Review

Strengths: Fast Lookups, Speaking Ability, Largest Definition Data Base, Limited User Input Required, Spells better than Word Processor Programs like MS Word.

Franklin Spanish-English Translator

Rating: 5 Star Review

Strengths: Great product, no regrets, fast delivery, WOW!

Weaknesses: No back-light for nighttime use.

Review: This translator is far better than the earlier ones. It weighs less, has a bigger screen, more content, and will be great for travel. This model does not have a back-light for nighttime use, which would be appreciated. Overall, it's very handy and faster to use than book translators or dictionaries for class and travel.
