Summary: Franklin Spelling Ace with Thesaurus

Content: I have a Wordmaster, also manufactured by Franklin. It's about 15 years old, and far superior to this Spelling Ace. I did a random test for synonyms, using the words "heard", "bury", "relish" and "wonder".
The Spelling Ace produced a total of 19 synonyms for these 4 words. My 15-year-old Wordmaster gave me me a total of 80.
I'm sorry I wasted my money on this product, but fortunately, I still have the old one
Summary: Inferior Product

Content: The Franklyn spelling ace is really nice. It's much bigger than the others. I purchased it for my Father-in -Law because his was too small & he had a hard time reading it. This one has a big read-out that you can see. The buttons are much bigger also. I liked the one I got him so much that I bought one myself. At first the buttons can be a little confusing. I've had to re-set mine 3 times. Now that I know what I'm doing it works great!! The one problem I see is that there is an = sign on the enter key & if you push that when you are looking up a word, it blanks out. You have to push it on the left side of the enter, not on the whole bar because it will go blank & it will have to be re-set. What I also really like is after you find the correct spelling it will tell you what the word means. It truly is a great little spell checker!!
Summary: A great spell checker!!

Content: I bought this item for playing scrabble and it is very good for that, but it is hard to get it out of game mode. The instructions are not clear either. I am happy with it though. It may be a user problem on my end.
Summary: Very happy with purchase

Content: I ordered a model SA-206 Spelling Ace and received an SA-209. I called to try to get the mixup corrected and was told that I would have to take care of it on line. I went to the online return system and half-way through it decided that it wasn't worth the trouble and logged off. The system took my "half-way" efforts and made a duplicate shipment (corrected?). Yes, I got another SA-209. I called again and was told that I would receive an email on the next day with details concerning availability and how to correct the now-duplicated wrong order. I never heard from anyone. I decided to keep both units and will certainly be charged for both; but now I have two more gifts for under the Christmas tree.
Summary: Amazon couldn't get the order right!
