Title: Hand held translator
Post by: Nevergivingup on January 11, 2005, 05:00:00 AM
I am going to try this again. Does anyone have any information on a good hand held translator that translates 7-10 word sentences??
Your help will be mucho appreciated!!

I went through this a year or so back. I couldnt find any handheld that translate sentences, only 1 word at a time. Seems too difficult for such a small device to cram so much info. A notebook will do just fine but it is bulky. I use Franklin Spanish Professor handheld: a very good device. It understands conjugated words and can pronounce words in both Eng and Sp for you.

I am not the guy who asked you originally about the translator;  but since you have one, how much does one of those little babies cost?  I don't speak spanish yet, so it could really help.

I got one of ebay for $89. Speaking version is good for both Eng speaker learning Sp and Sp speaker learning Eng. It is very helpful.

The Franklin dicionary csots about $50 at Target.  There is a $100 bigger deal with a speaker which pronounces the words.  This is much more helpful for someone who is elarning English since English pronunciation is irregular.  Spanish pronunciation is consistent and the $50 dictiorary fits into a pocket so it's inconspicuous.


Very handy.
