I ordered the XL1500 because I am moving to China for my business. Unfortunately, I had to return the product. The voice feature is so poor, I could barely recognize the english speaking voice, much less the chinese voice. The french, spanish, and german voices were not too bad. I was also disappointed that I could not figure out how to enter pinyin chinese and radical chinese characters, even after reading the poorly written manual three times. The clincher for me was that the headphone jack did ... Read More

This is everything it says that it is. It translates and it speaks.
Its translations are fine. I'm not quite sure what the previous reviewer meant when they said it gave them wrong translations.

The speech function sounds robotic, but ... Read More

I'm hoping the translations for the other languages work ... Read More

I just got the XL-1500 as a present from my new husband and I have to say that I was very impressed. I already had another model from Ectaco for France but since we were planning to visit several countries he decided we should have this 15 language version. We are going on a grand tour through Europe for our honeymoon and I can wait to try it out in real life situations. It's incredible how much information is in this little machine and I can't believe how easy it is to use. It works just as well as ... Read More
