There is one negative review commenting on bad buttons/ poor manufacture. This is completely counter to our family's experience. My wife, her mother and sister all have one of these translators and find them to be rugged and problem free. My wife has had hers for what must be 3 years now.
95% of my wife's usage is single word translations and seldom uses full sentence or pronunciation features. Although she is quite fluent, she still uses it often when she comes across odd words ... Read More

I found this dictionary very useful to learn English words. I often play in different word games on it to enlarge my vocabulary. What I really adore about this dictionary is the touch-sensitive display, it's fun to send emails and do everything with a small stylus!
I have specially chosen this dictionary to have the TOEFL listening comprehension and all the other tests as well as grammar reference.
The dialogues for every day situations have often helped me when I had no idea how to ... Read More

Perfect tool, great features and fulfilling vocabulary. But the manual needs to be written in a simpler manner. Too many technical terms that are not easy to understand for people who are not familiar with these terms. I think it should be more so-to-speak "housewife friendly". -- I give it four stars.

I bought ER586HT English/Russian from Ectaco and it was inoperable out of the box. Some buttons did not work at all. The store only had 7 days return policy so I had to bring it to the Ectaco store in Queens, NY. I was told they would call me within 2 weeks. It took me 5 weeks and multiple calls to get a replacement which... had the same problem. Now it has been 3 weeks again, no word from Ectaco.
Summary: good product idea, very poor implementation, absolutely the worst warranty and customer ... Read More
