Is the typying clear and defined. e,i. Does it type what you put in and not miss certain letters. How durable is this item. Who are TRANO, I have never heard of them. These type of electronic dictionaries try to do too much

Hi. Yes, I think it types exactly what I put in. But the buttons are probably a little small for a male user. I have not heard about this product before I bought it either. I find it very easy to use by far (esp. pronunciation and translation) , and it helps a lot with my German course.

Hi A. Held!The Friendly Swede here:-) Apologies for the late reply, we're cleaning house on questions and noticed we missed yours! I would describe it as soft and pliable, not a firm writing tip. We do have some that are more firm for writing though, I'd be happy to show you some other options.

I am certainly not a touch typist but I have never experienced any noticeable lag between typing on the keyboard and seeing the characters appear on the display. Assuming there is not some other OS or software issue I don't think you'll be able to out-type the keyboard/display combination.

My significant other is a court reporter and she does some heavy, serious, significant, 'Legal-Business typing.' They keyboard, while seems to be up to the task, we've already, within about a week of use had to return the 1st. Keyboard. So far, the second one seems to be holding up to the work load. We've got our fingers crossed, er uh, still typing.

I dont know the answer to that question. I have been using the keyboard for only 1 month. It seems that the letters are printed on the keys in a traditional way, like other keyboards. Just dont know how long they will last yet. Talk to me in a year.

It is straightforward but you are limited in terms of characters for naming items, I had to heavily abbreviate mine. Hope this helps!

Hi Peter, I have one of these and Amazon asked me to answer your question. It does not come with much of anything except incredible slowness and something in its innards which causes the cursor to wander all over documents. You'll be typing along and suddenly you're in the middle of a previous paragraph and have to cut and paste forward. It can do it right in the middle of a word and begin in the previous paragraph right in the middle of another word which makes cutting and pasting problematic. But its worst problem is incredible SLOWNESS!!!! If you're looking for a small, slow and pesky computer, buy it. If not, spend more money.

The transcriptioning is two-fold.....first a computer automatically scripts words as fast as the speaker can talk (at least for us in Connecticut) and an online human keeps the words true and sensible. I find it keeps up well with the conversation, as long as you remember not to read back the onscreen words, which then are typed in, which then gets read out loud, etc. It keeps up, and the majority is in clear, accurate language.

Thank you. You should be able to discuss this with the manufacturer as to why the letter vanish. I am sure I can buy a new one, but I had a keyboard for 10 years that was still quite legible. The one that came with the PC is shabby. Also, please tell me why this computer is listed now at $845.00 ... Did I receive a used one ?

I'm not sure. This is good for my kids. I bought it for my 6th grader since regular free typing sites weren't enough and he was just using them to play around. My 10th grader also uses this and her typing has improved for easier writing assignments.

I'm trying to make the same decision. Does anyone know? I am a fast typist, and I don't like what I hear about the wireless keyboard dropping strokes.

I would not use the speller for this purpose. My 7 year tries to type a word that is so Off target that the speller doesn't offer the intended choices. It is sort of like auto spell/correct on a typical smart phone meaning no way near what I was trying to type :)

Hi, Lynnie! Thanks for asking about this product. 1. You can scan one word or a whole line. It will say whatever you scanned. You can highlight a word of scanned text and see the dictionary definition. 2. The voice is a pleasant female voice, and it's easy to understand. This also comes with earbuds for privacy, plus there are volume controls. 3. I don't think this is sold in any brick and mortar store. We can ship to where you are, no need to get in the car and stand in the checkout line.

I just checked this out and it depends on the application. It does not auto correct in email but the word gets underlined if incorrect. It does work on the Amazon site as I am typing this message I use the keyboard all the time and am very happy not to be using my thumbs. It has boosted productivity significantly and added a level of protection that I really appreciate. For me, the auto correct is a small compromise. Hope it works out.

Hi NicoleI have had this Franklin device for about a month and i kind of like it. I have written a small review on Amazon, that maybe you read. As for your specific question, there is a section called "Conversational Phrases" that in a number of categories comprises various sentences. One category is "Travel" with various sub-categories among which is "Taxi, train, bus" in which you will find the phrase "Take me to the airport". This is, i think, the closest you can get to the sentence you are looking for. Good news is that you can find it using the so-called "Global Search" with the search criteria "airport".Hope this helpsBR Steen, Copenhagen Hi NicoleI have had this Franklin device for about a month and i kind of like it.

It works well. In the VIEW section, just type in the first letter and it will show all with that letter. It is case sensitive.

The keyboard is clear and readable, but it is not super bright like a Kindle, iPhone or iPad. It is battery operated with an on/off button. If only all the enormous amount of contained info could be an App for a Kindle or other device! But once you get the hang of it and its fast response, you will be happy to have it. It saves time and is worth it.
