User Reviews about Sharp Electronics PW-E550 Electronic Dictionary

I am in Chiropractic school and was hoping that it had some more medical health terms. It has alot of content but there are a few times that I was looking for something that was not there. It is very useful though. -- Useful

The product does what it claims.

The only thing I don't like is the screen. The screen isn't bright enough to see in the dark. In the set-up, you can change the screen contrast, but does not help in gloomy conditions.

Otherwise, E550 is agreat product. -- Sharp E550 Electronic Dictionary

I love this little Sharp electronic dictionary. I read many papers and find the convenience and power of this small device simply amazing. It always accompany's me while on the computer and I am in a constant state of learning new words. The "History" feature lets me "remember" what I forgot. Get this device since it is GREAT!!

This is the easiest and most intuitive electronic dictionary. I bought my son some other dictionary marketed for "students" hoping the definitions would be easier for him to understand. I wish I just bought another of these. When it comes to figuring out the spelling of a word, the dictionary display begins to build with words as you type. This helps greatly. When he has to look up a word on the Franklin, it just comes up blank when a word is misspelled. There is also a spelling lookup that some may prefer, but the dictionary function is quicker. If you're getting to the end of spelling your word and it's not on the list, you know you have to backspace and rethink the letters. There have been very few words this has not covered. I am a 30+ college student. As a quick reference, I will use this until a more intuitive app for a wifi/cell gadget comes along that works better, but I don't see it happening soon. This device is hard to beat. -- Best Electronic Dictionary - soon to be usurped by wifi and cellular devices?

Amazing, well thought out electronic dictionary. Definitions are concise, thourough and instantaneous. I am an avid reader and I've yet to stump it on any word entered, even foreign terms. Well worth the price. The other features--thesaurus, phrase finder, cross-word solver, spell checker, etc. make it an even better investment. The viewer is easy to read and has a zoom feature feature for the visually challenged. You won't be dissapointed if you buy it. A five star, blow-out product. -- Wonderful product.
