Customer Reviews
Bigger is Better
I purchased this from Amazon for my wife for Christmas, so cannot say I have actually used it. What I would like to say is that the larger screen, the size of the keys and the layout of the keys, makes this a far superior product to the pocket example, that I do own myself. The size of the product is still a handy size, but even though it is not a great deal larger than the pocket size it is much easier to operate, particulary for those people with larger hands, or perhaps slight difficulties with stiffness in their hands. The information the dictionary provides is as good as anything on the market.
Chambers Desktop Crossword Dictionary
Larger than normal electronic dictionaries, hence easier to operate and view.
Several words are not in the "Dictionary" section, hence no definition available, which is disappointing.
keeps my 90-year-old Dad amused
Actually bought this as a replacement for an identical one which had gone faulty. Can't complain too much though because it was several years old and used pretty incessantly by my Dad, who likes to do crosswords and whose only objective is to get them done by hook or by crook so sees nothing wrong with a bit of assistance from a technical gadget.
Helps to keep his brain going.
There is a much smaller device from the same vendor that does the same job, but the buttons and display are too small for my Dad.
The failure mechanism seems to be the keyboard membrane which just wears out if used a lot.
