Talking French English Arabic Electronic Dictionary ECTACO EAF430TX

Don't buy this if you are looking for a translator that pronounces (speaks) words. It sounds like early 1980's computer voice synthesizers and the result is very poor. Enligh is my first language, and it is difficult for me to understand the English words it speaks. Some of the words, I could only understand because I was looking at the written word on the screen at the same time I was listening to the spoken word. When I tried the French words on several native French-speaking people, it was difficult for them as well. It does written translations OK. The user interface is a little bit awkward and not very intuitive.

Don't buy it--WAAAY OVERPRICED!! The buttons are cheap, and the voice is not clear. There is no French dictionary, contrary to the advertisement. I wasted my money, and I can't send it back. By the way, G. Hallaq, who writes a good review of this computer, is the guy selling them!!! Cheat!!!

don't know about this version but I got the english-french one and yes I agreed with other reviewers that buttons are cheap...voice is not clear and not durable. I ended up having to buy a new one from another company later on because it's just horrible. now I am taking up a new language and I am surprised I have not found a good arabic - english dictionary out there.
