Franklin BES-2150

Nice, does what it says. PROBLEM: screen hard to read.

I love the gadget, works great, ONE BIG PROBLEM... The screen is hard to read. If it had a light, I would have given it 5 stars.

Great help for ENGLISH students..

I love this translator. It is small but powerful. But caution, if you look some expressions like "get off", "put up" and so on, it is gonna take a long, long time to show the definition (I do not know why!). Although, if you are an English speaker, I...

I like this product

The Franklin BES-2150 works as advertised. Very compact and portable. After researching similar products, this seems the best in terms of portability and features. I would like the next iteration to have a manual backlite feature that I could turn...

It's easy to use and very ligth to carry every where. Helps to translate, write and speak.

Great dictionary

This is the best Spanish-English dictionary that I have bought. I had previously owned basic Franklin electronic translators as well as a fancy Casio, which was unbelievably not user-friendly, which I think is the purpose of having an electronic...

The BES 2150 is the answer to all the shortcomings of its predecessor.

I purchased the BES 2150 instead of the BES 2100 primarily because it has a backlight in the display. I assumed the performance would be the same for both units since they appear to be identical from all outward appearances. After I started using it, I...

I love this Speaking Spanish-English & Advanced Learner English Dictionary

I finally found an electronic comprehensive Spanish-English, English-Spanish dictionary that I can carry in my purse. This small unit has served me more than I had ever imagined. I write articles in Spanish, and sometimes need to remember the...
