Franklin 14 Language Speaking Global Translator with Visual Dictionary and Color Screen (EST-7014) Review

I have played around with this translator for a couple of weeks now and am very impressed. The translations seem very good and it is easy to switch languages. I have varying degrees of familiarity with Japanese, Spanish, Italian and Dutch and all worked out well.
The Japanese is really good. It may not be any use to a person who does not read Japanese, but it would be useless as a Japanese translator if it showed everything in the Roman alphabet. In Japanese and Chinese, you cannot necessarily tell how to pronounce something from the written text, so the vocalizations are vital. This does not substitute for a dedicated Japanese-English dictionary, though. There is no way to search kanji.

It takes a 2gb micro SD card and I could listen to music in the background while I worked away. There is an agenda, a clock with two time zones, a calculator, calendar and memo feature. The box comes with a bunch of adapters for different countries. The colour screen is great. The Franklin web site is so poor, you would not know about many of these features.

There were two features that were less useful. One is the "travel" section which has an alphabetical list of restaurants and some sights for a few major cities. There are no reviews or descriptions. The other limitation is the photo feature. I had photos on my SD card, but they came out distorted on the screen. I think that if you had the right size, it might look OK, but I did not find any instructions on how to convert.

A previous review suggested that there may be better products out there. If that is the case, I do not know about them. My first electronic dictionary was by Etaco and the translations were a joke. I have two previous Frnaklin Spanish-English dictionaries and I have found them to be pretty good. I also have a Casio for English-Japanese. There is no translator that can take a random sentence and produce a credible translation in another language.
