The Merriam Webster scg-1870 is a great portable dictionary for many reasons:1) It is quick and easy to use.2) Its games are great pastimes and are very educational.3) Its LCD screen is visible and easy to read.4) Its buttons are big, but kind of hard to press.5) Its dictionary and thesaurus are very informable and not skimpy on imformation.6) The Columbia Concise Encyclopedia is a very useful feature.Final remark: Highly reccommended!! Franklin really outdid themselves!

By David M. Spencer
I'll never forget now the day I received my electronic dictionary. It has changed my life. My mother bought me the Franklin SCD-1870 Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary and I was in awe of this handheld device which looked like a little notepad but functioned like a computer. I spent that night and the next day looking up every single word I could think of, even the ones I was familiar with. I would link myself from word to word and started building up my word list and looking up new words and studying the SAT Word List. I loved pronouncing the difficult words and the batteries that came with the dictionary lasted for 18 months before the computer told be it was on low battery, and this was after using the device nearly every single day. I love saving words in the Word List, although sometimes the list is erased if you leave the device out in an extreme temperature, so be careful and make back-ups. The games serve their purpose and I don't have a problem reading the text. This works pretty quickly if you are typing in a word that the computer matches identically, but you have to wait a bit if you type in a word that is spelled incorrectly. The asterisk and question mark function helps out a lot though if you are not sure how a word is spelled. This is highly recommended and it is definitely one of those products that makes me wonder how I ever went without it. I need it by my side at all times now.

By Fernando in Co
This is the second one of these we've bought. My wife lost her first one after a year of using it and loving it. She was pretty sad when she lost it. So I got her the exact same model for Christmas. She is very happy with it!. She reads a lot and has this by her side to look up and hear any unfamiliar words. It really has made her happy to have it back.I personally have one nit to pick: the spoken word that comes from it is pretty mechanical and a bit tinny. But besides that, we're very happy with it.
