Owned one for years, still good product

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...

Adult user

This is an excellent tool for a higher-grade student who needs help with spelling because Spelling Ace doesn't offer any extra information that might be used for cheating.It fits inside the adult hand and is light (it isn't going to weigh down a briefcase, purse or knapsack).The lid is not very secure and I snapped it off while taking it out of the shipping container but I was able to snap it back together.The spelling software is decent and is more phonetic than the spell checkers found in traditional...

Good spell checker but broke easily

IT'S DECENT

This is the first spell checker I've owned. It's a bit onthe large side, and the power button gets stuck alot. I'llput in a word the way it sounds, and alot of the time itspells out a different word, but I guess most of them probablydo this. This one does the job, but I'm not overwhelmed with it.It needs 4AAA batterys to operate, which I think is a bit onthe ridiculous side also!...
