Though the Spelling Ace is primarily a spelling corrector and thesaurus, it also includes built-in calculator and a phone list databank that stores up to 100 names and numbers. Other features include a 16-character scrolling display, an adjustable contrast, a context-sensitive help mode for beginning users, and an auto-shutoff function that preserves battery power. The Spelling Ace measures a compact 5.25 by 3.5 by 1 inch (W x H x D) and requires four AAA batteries (not included). It's also backed by a one-year warranty on parts and labor.

Content: I've had one of these for over 14 years now, when they first started coming out. My brother has the original one I got freshman year in high school, and I have one I got junior year. This item is still very much the same as it was 14 years ago, just a little sleaker and smaller. Very easy to use, turn on, type the word, and search. It still has thesaurus and games, and as reviews below mention, occasionally still brings up entertaining words if you are as bad of phonetic speller as I am. This item is excellent to save you from digging through pages of a dictionary in search of just a spelling, and not the definition. A must if you can't even get the first 3 letters square like I do looking up words. Most of these models will also play hangman with you, amongst a few other games to try and work with your spelling skills. The spelling ace my brother still has actually contained many definitions. These little machines are worth their weight in gold for highschoolers and college folks writing paper, even with spell check on the computer.


Summary: great product for bad spellers on the go!!!!

Content: This is a great product with large, easy to read letters, and many wonderful functions. I did not rate it 5 stars for two reasons: first, the cover is not well attached and you must handle it rather carefully. Second, the battery compartment has one of those TINY screws that you can never find a screwdriver to fit and they strip so easily! I do hope the batteries don't drain quickly as I don't want to have to change them too often...be careful where you have this when you remove the screw or you will never see it again!


Summary: GREAT OVERALL PRODUCT
