LEXIBOOK The English Dictionary, D650EN

Super little multi talented gadget, easy to use with many functions. Worth every penny

Easy to use. Quality is great. Great value for money. Size is good. And versatility is good too.

I was really excited when this arrived today as I have other Lexibook products, and was initially pleased, but on further use, I am disappointed. Of four words I typed in for their meaning, three were not in the word bank; it cannot deal with the common nine letter anagram; even though the text can be adjusted, the screen is too small. It is attractive looking, easy to use and has clear instructions, but for the money it is not as useful as the Oxford or Franklin/Collins range.

Although very helpful when it works. This product didn't last even 6 months. At the start, I thought the battery run out very quickly, but soon I realised that it is not the battery, it's the product itself. The moment the battery is changed it works fine for few days before it stops working. See the video attached. I tried to contact the manufacturer but couldn't get any email or number to contact them. I'm very disappointed.

I would recommend buying it. Not everything is there but it is very handy especially if you don't want your kids to search on google all the time.

Good value for money helps me wi ma spelling and look up words I've never heard and then explain their meaning bloody marvelous for this ,79 yr auld never too auld to learn

I bought this product from Amazon on 20 Nov 2022. But today the product started misbehaving. Any time I type a word in the dictionary box and press the Enter key the word disappears. No meaning just the word disappearing. I have powered the off button multiple times and also press reset buttons but nothing seems to work. This is being used by a 9 year old so it is very frustrating.

a useful machine but perhaps the contrast adjuster could be a bit better.

1 am comparing this dictionary to the, unfortunately discontued, Sharp PW -300 dictionary, that has partly malfunctioned after many years of usage. If tha Sharp was a Rolls - Royce then the Lexibook D650EN- 09 is equal to a three wheel bicycle. It is a dictionary, in my opinion, for very small children just learning English. It has such a small number of words in its memory. I get so many messages that the word I have chosen is not available. I use the dictionary for spelling and infomation as to the words origin. The sharp can tell you more information about the word that you would care to know. Lexibook gives little or no examples to explain the words meaning. Unfortunately one does not know how bad a device like this is until you begin to use it. Normally I would return this item, but once the Sharp's dictionary finally expires, what is there to replace it. The Lexibook is more than a dicionary, if it had spent more effort on the dictionay and less on the other features it may have become a better dictionary.

Easy to use and my wife likes it

Disappointed with this. Doesn’t recognize words to spell for my gr 3 granddaughter, When typing in a phonetically it doesn’t recocognise basic words. They would take it back but the return address is in England. I have to pay postage…..this would cost as much as the device…. Think before you purchase if you live on a different continent than Europe.

Good for my daughter

Only about one of 10 words searched are found -- provides abbreviated tools for definitions. Would have preferred more extensive database. I find using this tool is frustrating and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
