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 like the look and colour of this model but the reading area is let down by the colours and contrast feature which is yellowy blue. Very difficult for someone with poor eyesight. It needs to be black on white or white on black. I returned the item for this reason.

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.

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

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.

Multi-functional pocket-sized digital dictionary/thesaurus/calculator etc

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

Besides coming damaged I tried it out and I felt like you had to get pretty close to the actual spelling of a word rather than phonetic spelling. I put in “tho” for the word “though” and it didn’t suggest it. I put in “cood” for “could” and it didn’t get that one either. It did get “what” when I put in “wut” but it was fairly far down on the suggestion list. I didn’t try other features because it was too damaged to navigate options. I got it for my 5th grader who has a tough time with spelling and I don’t think it will be the right fit for my phonetic speller.
