5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger is Better, 9 Nov 2004

By	J. Chippindale (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Crossword solver, 26 Feb 2009

By	Fr Pat - See all my reviews

I have started using this Dictionary as a crossword solver. The first problem is that of mastering the controls - that done it is possible to set up long searches for a word, and the machine can suggest hundreds of words. With a lengthy searches the solver has to take time out to 'collect its thoughts'. Sometimes there is a swift resolution to the query, at others a polite refusal (Sorry can't help you). The same applies to anagram solving. Clever as it is, it is not a substitute for a good, old fashioned dictionary, thesaurus, and other books of reference, but it is a handy help.

4.0 out of 5 stars Chambers Desktop Crossword Dictionary, 30 Jan 2009

By	Ms. Patricia Ann Squire (Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
